Raymo I should be able to use that DARV method if just using my tracker and Camera correct?

I've attached a quick drawing of my setup so you can see.

I've got a base plate hinged to a top plate to act as latitude adjustment. there is a fine tune adjustment but its not included in the drawing.

and at this stage I'm just turning the base plate on the tripod for adjustment in azimuth.

I should be able to turn the camera and focus on stars in the areas designated by the DARV guide and follow the instructions to get alignment?

Camera is attached to a ball head mount. the big gear on the back is a belt drive attached to a geared stepper which mounts on the top plate also.
