Like to think I've tried every possible method of polar aligning over the years. Many swear by Alignmaster, but for me drift aligning still seems the most robust and relatively fast way of getting well aligned.
Changing to SGP necessitated another go at PHD2, and the Drift Align routine is just so great to use. Very good tutorial available here:

I'm usually pretty well behaved reading manuals, but have only just now realised what the magenta circle is for.....
