The way I found it for my mounts was to get a pair of binoculars and search around till I found the astrism once I found that, I lowered the binoculars down to the ground, then I found a good reference point (a small gap in the top of a tree I aligned my polar scope with this the adjusted the mounts hight until I came across the stars I needed.

It still took a while but I know where it is and marked the ground, put the scope there every night and I know is very close to it each time.
