Your EQ6-R mount comes with a Synscan handcontroller
The Synscan polar alignment routine in the handcontroller is as accurate as Polemaster and costs nothing and what’s even better you don’t require a view of the South Celestial Pole. All you need is 2 bright stars on same side of meridian , between 35 and 60 degrees in altitude and 60 degrees or less apart in azimuth.
I’ve used it over 6 years using EQ5, HEQ5 , EQ6-R and EQ8-R pro mounts with excellent results and takes around 10 minutes to complete once you get some experience under your belt. It’s an iterative method and after time you can reduce your iterations from say 5 or 6 down to 2 or 3.

PS: I forgot to mention you can use various options to view Star centering operations for both star alignment and polar alignment.

1/ Illuminated reticle centering eye piece in focuser of telescope ( Eg: Orion 20mm 70 degree centering eye piece )
2/ Your preferred imaging software “live view” screen ( as long as it has a zoom function and cross hairs) I use my old Canon 600 D DSLR in my Newts and BYEOS ( Backyard EOS ) which has a tremendous live view function. There’s no time lag and live view is excellent for really precise Star Centering.
