What you want in most of your discussion is provided in WCS polar alignment program. Input latitude, goto star in North and near ecliptic and meridian, input dec of star. Use webcam - click on star-wait 5 min, press calc in program and it gives two cross hairs. Place star in red xhair adjust az to bring to green x hair. Do the same for star in east and adjust alt. Voila perfect polar alignment.
