Hi Geoff,

Another alternative you may wish to use is to simply to shine a bright LED torch which ideally snuggly/perfectly fits inside your focuser draw tube down your telescope tube and back up into the sky and then align the telescope tube to the SCP whilst looking through binoculars and a set of star charts.

Certainly works for me in a dark sky and from there on I can drift align.
