Nothing visible in the polar scope? - Check dec shaft orientation. Most are set up so polar scope hole aligns at 90 degrees. I have an EQ6 (EM200 clone) and the puck was set this way. I re-aligned things so that the scope hole is straight through at the zero position on the dec shaft.
As for the illumination, have never seen a mount yet where the SCP stars were visible with the light on. Wave a red light in front of the scope every now and then to see the pattern as you align.
