Polar Alignment References
Just a couple of articles on polar alignment of an equatorial mounted scope for future reference:
From Celestron’s Knowledge Base:
—
From Sky and Telescope – DIY Accurate Polar Alignment
Sky and Telescope also has a bunch of other great Astronomy DIY articles.
—
Observatorio ARVAL – Polar Alignment
This is an article on aligning a Meade LXD55/75 scope, but the general procedure holds true for all equatorial mounted scopes.

There are many more if you do a quick search on Google, but these are a few that I read and found helpful. Celestron’s KB is actually a great place to find a lot of good information, not just about Celestron scopes, but about amateur astronomy in general.
If anyone else knows of any good resources for how to polar align your scope, feel free to add them to the comments.
