Hi,
I suggest you align the scope by the drift method to get anaccurate result possible. Method is described under the "Project Articles" link on this site. This is the method I use to get anaccurate alignment for Astrophotography. You will need an illuminated retculated eyepiece to get a quick grasp on the direction the star travels. I made an unilluminted one from a 12mm eyepiece, glued fine hair (human) as cross hairs on the inside stop of the eyepiece. I do need to use a 2x Barlows to get the shadow of the hair without any illumination, but it works.
