If you do a long exposure and stop tracking then turn the tracking on again you will get v shaped star trails. One trail (tracking motor turned off) is the direction that the stars are moving and the other is which the way the scope is moving. The idea is to adjust your mount till the line is straight. There is video tutorial to demonstrate this I will see if I can find the link.
