Can you polar align using a DSLR?
If I was to attach my DSLR to my scope (12.5") which has a field of 30' and locked the scope at 90 degrees dec, then pointed it south taking 60-120 second exposures of the SCP area and making adjustments until I could centre the star trails and SCP in the centre of frame, would that give me a good enough alignment for deep sky photography work?
Anyone tried it?
