I think the 2 or 3 star alignment is for the goto. I didn't think it requires you to adjust the alt/az bolts though? (It's been a while since I did it though)

You still need to polar align and you should do that before you do your goto alignment. So drift align, if that's how you're going to do your polar alignment, first and then the goto alignment on the hand controller.

I thought the Skywatcher hand controllers had a polar alignment feature in them now days? perhaps you could use that instead of or as well as drift alignment (depending on how accurate you need it).
