Nathan,
Your polar scope needs to be aligned with your mount. This only needs to be done once, using the adjustment screws. Do this during daylight, use a fixed object some distance away (preferably at low altitude, so you don't break you back looking into the polar scope). Using your scope and finder, ensure both and polar scope are all aligned.
Once you've got that, then polar align. Use this article in the Projects & Articles Section:
