Hmm, I've always wondered why you cant simply do a rough align, then tell your scope to GOTO sigma octans (or any star) and then adjust via camera from your imaging scope on your lappie the dec/ra knobs on the mount until it is centered.

Admittedly I have had a few, but wouldnt you then be polar aligned?
