Are you using a GEM? Right now I am using the ASIAIR plus to control the system and it utilizes the main camera to polar align. It takes a shot, plate solves the image, rotates the mount 60 degrees and takes another shot. It then tells you which way to move the mount left/right and up/down taking more shots along the way to verify.
I have also used the Polemaster camera which attached to the polar scope hole, That works great as well.
My guiding so far has been sub 1" total. Usually hovers around .75 arc seconds or so. Might get it a little better with some mount tweaking.
