"1) Calibrate the motor's axis of rotation parallel to earth's axis of rotation."

Is there a HowTo that shows, how to do this? In one of the videos it's mentioned, that we have to point the camera to Polaris, that's all ...

What, if I'm heading south to take a Milky Way picture and Polaris is not visible on the north?
Can I take a compass to direct the camera to the north and using the motor to add the correct angle for my GPS position?

Would really appreciate some instructions or links to learn, how to do it.

Thanks!
