Use the move tool. Select the image you want to align first, then select the move tool now reduce the opacity to about 50% so you can see both images. Now move with your mouse cursor. When its close you can fine tune using the arrow keys on the keyboard. Blink the layer on and off to see if its exact if not adjust and reblink.

If you change focal length or there is distortion this will not work so well. You could register them in CCDstack first instead as that wil scale and rotate as part of the align process.
