OK. Really basic question but one I have to ask.

I'm about to try and learn the art of drift aligning but I'm afraid there's an embarrassing gap in my knowledge.

Every "How To" I've read talks about watching a star to see whether it moves north or south in the eyepiece.

I wouldn't have a clue which way is north, east, south or west when I'm looking through the ep!!!

Can anyone help?
