Skywatcher Synscan polar alignment routine
1/It’s Free
2/ Is a feature of your Syncan handcontroller
3/ Don’t need a view of the SCP, just 2 alignment stars between 30 and 70 degrees altitude and within 30 degrees azimuth from the south meridian
4/ I use BYEOS and my old DSLR for alignment iterations ( usually 2 to 3 iterations only required )
5/ Usually polar aligned under an half an arc minute within 5 mins
Been using this method for over 4 years , just as accurate as pole master
