Hi Luke,
Here is a guide I drew up to help polar align using star hopping. It helps you recognize what the SCP looks like through binoculars or finderscope.
Having said that, you should only need the scope pointed at the 90 deg declination point, with the tripod pointed towards your true south (Sydney is 168deg rather than 180 deg) and then "learn" it to the alignment process built in to the EQ5 pro.
Hope this helps
Chris
