It really is worth using the purple circle when adjusting altitude and azimuth in the polar alignment tool in PHD2 - reduces the number of iterations to get great alignment down to a 2-3 in most cases.
A trick I've been using from home when I have a network connection is to run Teamviewer on my iPhone so I can zoom in and see the camera window in PHD2 while outside near the mount. Saves moving/turning the laptop and very convenient during the all important "tweaking" phase.
