Hi Brett. There are a couple of methods you could use, but if you want to get really accurate then drift aligning is the way to go. It's easy to do but hard to explain Do a search of the site for drift aligning there is plenty here. Also Google drift aligning for the southern hemisphere.

If you don't have one, then you will need to get an illuminated reticle (crosshair eyepiece) to get your drift accurate.

If you have no joy in working it out come and visit us at Astroron's place on the Sunshine Coast next dark of the Moon and I can show you how it's done. C'mon it's only a couple of hours south of you
