Hello,
Would the ZWO 60mm guide scope with ZWO 290MM work together for polar alignment? The scope has a 280mm focal length.
Thank you!

Hi,
You can enter the details of all of your hardware here –
https://astronomy.tools/calculators/field_of_view/ – and the webpage will calculate the field of view that your camera has. Anything above or close to 1° by 1° should work absolutely fine. As you get down to half a degree by half a degree things may get less reliable (at those scales it's best to just try it out and see if it works well or not).
Hope this helps, Robin
