when i polar align, terry told me this somewhat simple method... align your scope to the mount so it can act as a polar scope, roughly point it south. take exposures so the stars trail and where the centre of it is the Southern Pole.... adjust your Alt and Az on your mount until the centre of the pole is exactly in the middle of the pole, with this you can do 1 min exposure with the ed80 without any trailing... this is wayyyy easy to do..
