Aligning Mount

Hi all,

I have a Celestron 8” EdgeHD, with a 0.7x reducer, and an AVX mounts.
I am just interested in the steps others take when getting their scope out of the shed.

To date I have really just taken it out, done the 2 star alignment plus the 4 calibration stars, then done the polar alignment that is given in the mount. I know there are better methods to get polar aligned but I don’t really know where to start (drift align in PHD2?).

If anyone has a similar setup can they let me know the steps they take to get up and running for the night.
Cheers
