Poloar scope web cam confusion

[D Wright]

I have made a webcam adapter to fit on my polar scope and it works fine. I have been able to accurately centre the polar scope reticle. With the webcam attached to the polar scope obviously it turns with the RA axis and when viewed through the cam the reticle does not move but the image rotates. When I rotate the camera to focus the reticle rotates. My problem is how to polar align. Normally you would rotate the RA axis until the little circle for polaris is at the correct angle for the date and time then using alt. and az. get polaris in the circle. Does it matter if you rotate the RA or simply turn the camera to get the circle in the right place? Please help me get my head around this as it is not making any sense to me.

Is the camera fixed to the polar scope ? If it is then the image of the reticle will always appear fixed and Polaris will appear to move in relation to the engravings. In reality the opposite is happening. The polar scope is rotating and Polaris is not.

Yes I understand this. But my problem is which way to get the setting circle to the correct position. Will it matter if I am turning the camera not the RA axis?
