For portable setups I recommend the Polemaster camera and appropriate adapter for your mount.
The polemaster attaches to the polar axis and the software does its magic. Takes about 5 minutes to complete and polar alignment will be very, very close.

If you need better tracking after that you can drift align (tutorials on the interweb).

For astrophotos one needs a guide camera that can follow a star and give instructions to the mount to move to keep it centered.
