Listen, I cannot give here all the formulae!  But I can give you a good 
reference.  Look at Sky & Telescope for February 1989.  It is an article 
written by Toshimi Taki in the "Astronomical Computing" column.  He gives
us a little program in BASIC that allow a telescope to be aimed without any
polar alignment.  You just have to aim 2 references stars.  It works like
the little boxes with shaft encoders (I cannot remember the name).

But the article will give you all the formulae which are rather easy to
understand if it is all you want to know.

Hope it can help you!
