Hi Cindi,
You'll always be learning something new with astronomy
If you are jumping into autoguiding in the near future, then there is actually a way to do drift alignment using your autoguider. The following url has a good outline of this method (along with a stack of other polar alignment methods).

I got shown it by an Astrophotographer who did not own any eyepieces! Just had cameras! Quite a neat method. And if you are going to autoguide anyway, then use it to both align and then guide (saves some setup time), and in the learning process you will learn heaps more about your autoguider and how it all works.
Cheers
Howie
