Once you get the ALT right, you should not need to adjust that again until you change site. The AZ requires work each time you setup after pulldown.

The way to get things moderately accurate (for viewing) is to use either an automated software (or firmware) tool like Alignmaster or the Synscan Handset routine. The way to get things seriously accurate (for astrophotography) is to use a drift align tool like that in PHD2, Metaguide, AstroTortillla or EQAlign.
