Correct. I added the other stick near the first (south side of line) and stake a few metres away (southside) as you need three points to define a straight line. When I stand on the north side looking south everything lines up. I left everything in place the first time and then placed my tripod and GEM in place and aligned the polar axis with this new line best I could. Make sure your mount is level and the altitude is set correctly. Also make sure any azimuth adjustment is in the middle of its range.
When all this is done you can fine tune with drift adjustment and then once the tripod is aligned you can mark the position of the tripod feet for easier placement next time.
