yes, i would get a polar scope - once you are aligned with this you're correct that when you enageg the Ra drive the stars should stay in the fov.
when you are using a compass & then correcting how long do the stars stay in the fov?
you could drift align but it would seem overkill for visual observation only
I would also find someone close by to show you how to find scp - much easier than trying b yourself
