Thanks folks.

I'm going to exemplify how utterly clueless I am about all this, by way of an embarrassing admission:

I thought the mount's 3-star alignment process was mainly to compensate for my rough-as-guts polar alignment. Just figured out how wrong that is.

Somnium, the (extremely nice & helpful) guy who sold me the mount, talked me through the drift alignment process and I've read several articles describing it. I was just being lazy in neglecting to actually try it, thinking that the mount would solve all those problems. Yeah not so much!

All good. I'm hoping that drift alignment only seems hard the first half-dozen to dozen times you do it, then just becomes part of the routine.
