Complications of imaging near celestial pole?

Hi!

I would love to image an object that is close to the south celestial pole.

The object is Cederblad 111 and is only 12 degrees away from the SCP from my location.

I've never shot anything so close to the pole so I'm not sure if there are any complications that I'm not aware of. Perhaps I need a really tight polar alignment, or are there issues pointing in that location?

I will be using an NEQ6-Pro EQ mount with guiding and a scope with 420mm FL.

Would love to hear from someone with experience.
Thanks in advance!
Stefan
