Grady, I've been polar aligning for a couple of years with a pretty rough VB.NET program that monitors Y drift error reporting from Maxim. I've "calibrated" the rate of drift very roughly into quarter turns of my az knobs - no need to change alt as I set up in the same spot outside and rarely fiddle with it.
I'm sure you should be able to home in pretty quick with what you're planning. Even just a minute or so of average drift gives you a pretty good idea which way to go. Of course you need longer monitoring windows as you get closer - assuming you really do want it spot on. For my NEQ6 I generally fine a tad of error so its only correcting one direction in Dec is helpful.
