I use the polar scope only for alignment on my eq6.
It seems important that you get the scope nice and vertical and set aiming at the pole.
I then usually use acrux as the first star. It is always within the finder field and often in a low power eyepiece. The next 2 stars are always in the low power field and often close to the centre. I find it to be very accurate. If it was 20deg off then something is incorrect in the settings.
