The hang up is how to accurately align the ref constellations. Not really sure how to apply the ref marks - second star points etc??
PS - generally speaking, the alignment of the constellations is the starting point to get the rotation and position roughed in and get polaris placed in its slot. Then you would refine your adjustment using the secondary star (Delta Ursa Minor) to match the secondary star template. Generally that's good enough for visual observing and widefield. You can of course use more star positions to refine even further (if they are visible) but there is a diminishing return
