For the benefit of beginners like myself and others, the internet has conflicting procedures and outcomes on various websites for Drift Alignment using an illuminated reticle eyepiece ( Newtonian Reflector Telescopes )


Could experienced IIS members confirm which is correct from the two scenarios below -



Telescope pointed north and centered on alignment star near north meridian and celestial equator (Southern Hemisphere)



Scenario 1


If the star drifts North adjust azimuth on mount to the East or clockwise as you face north behind the mount
If the star drifts South adjust azimuth on mount to the West or anticlockwise as you face north behind the mount




Or


Scenario 2

If the star drifts North adjust azimuth on mount to the West or anticlockwise as you face north behind the mount
If the star drifts South adjust azimuth on mount to the East or clockwise as you face north behind the mount





Please confirm which scenario is correct ?


Thanks in advance
