Well, I can do several runs to do polar alignment and do it all within 45 
min. or less with a Paramount ME ...
Once polar aligned, a mapping run for pointing could be done in about 30 
minutes or less, if you have a video camera replacing the eyepiece.

It can also be automated.

Search the Software Bisque website, click on CooStuff, then Tom's Corner, 
tehn click on the TPoint Box ...

Lot's of stuff there that you can read.
