If I polar align my mount I cant then turn the mount north right?

Once you get your mount polar aligned, you can still access all the sky with the telescope. Although I find that sometimes an equatorial mount can leave the scope in odd positions - you may have to occasionally rotate the Newtonian scope in it's rings to get comfy access to the eyepiece.
You should only ever need to adjust the altitude once - providing the scope is level. So pointing it within a few degrees of the pole should keep things in the eyepiece for several minutes. Photography requires really precise polar alignment but for casual observation, a rough setup should suffice.
