Hi Vespine,
the idea is to tape the laser to the mount, parallel to the pol-axis. the laser projects a point in the sky about a far away. this point shall be used instead of a terrestrial object (like a radio tower) to centre the telescope and polfinder scope in order to achieve parallelity with the pol axis to prevent cone error and mount misalignments due to inacurate polfinderscope alignment.
If however, the end-point of the laser changes position due to airturbulances that make the laser more or less visible the whole operation would be rather 'pointless'.
Have you or anybody else tried that before?
Cheers
