Congrats Mohammed! If you haven't found it already, the Astrotrac Yahoo Group is a great resource of information, especially with regards to helpful tips and tricks (just search for "astrotrac yahoo" on Google).
Watch out for the polar scope holder - it's very, very easy to knock it out by accident (I do it virtually every time). Some people use rubber bands, cable ties, etc to hold it in place.
The polar scope is a bit dim (in my opinion) for finding the Sigma/Chi Octans alignment stars, but once you get them the polar alignment is pretty good. My shots from last weekend (in the Deep Space forum) were taken with a 135 mm lens x 3 mins... pixel perfect with no trailing using the polar scope to align.
