Just google the DARV method by Robert Vice. It doesn't matter whether
you can see the pole area, and no need to break your neck trying
to look through the polar scope, and light pollution doesn't matter
either, and your eyesight is irrelevant, unless you are nearly blind.
You just need your scope, mount, and a DSLR.
It will probably take around 45-60 mins the first time you try it, but
you will quickly get it down to around 15mins for alignment good
enough for your needs. Once you have really good alignment, mark
the positions of the tripod legs on the ground, and if you don't disturb
the alt/az and altitude settings, you will already be close next time you set up, and will only need a brief DARV run[ say 5-10mins].
