How to (ccd?) drift align a Astrotrac/Vixen polarie for us Southerners using dslr

Assuming you have a standard tripod, 3 way gear head and ball head, can someone please clearly explain to me how they would go about drift aligning their vixen polair/astrotrac here in the southern hemisphere using a DSLR? Does CCD drift reduce the amount of time taken to do it? I haven't been able to find a clear explanation of how to drift align for these devices and I'd greatly appreciate the assistance.

Thanks guys

P.S: I have the polar scope and it's hopeless
