Peter,
I point the mount towards celestial south, then use the synscan to do a 3 star alignment, then do a polar alignment with the uber tight altitude bolts and much more friendly azimuth knobs. Where I have my scope I can't use the polar scope as the neighbors house is in the way. Sometimes it works a treat and others, despite using the same procedure, not so much.
I've seen that sharpcap has a polar alignment tool... may be time to give that a try.
