Hi Deimos
I have successfully used the Polar Alignment Scopes (PAS) in my Vixen GPDX and Tak EM200 mounts in Brisbane and can sympathise with you as a new comer to aligning using the PAS.
The 4 trapezium pattern stars are quite dim in the light polluted skies of Brissie, but once found are very easy to see. I have driven markers into the back garden for my pier and tripod legs so when I set up, I plop the legs onto the markers and then touching up the polar alignment only takes a matter of 30 seconds.
I live in S Brisbane and would be happy to show you how I polar align with my set up – just PM me. You should then be able to translate the technique to your system and I'm sure it will become much easier then.
Cheers
Dennis
