I use PoleAlignMax. If you don't have access to MaximDL, then use PHD and disable guide output - firm believer it can pick up drift far quicker than the eye.

I decided that having to use a portable setup meant I would always need to do polar alignment - therefore anything that would speed up the process was worth spending time to get working.

I now have a permanent pier at my dark sky site (thanks Mark) - and last time I went out there and plonked down the mount, it was within 30 arc sec of the pole. After three runs of PoleAlignMax I was within 10 arc sec.
