I guess my point was to describe a simple method of alignment that suits my purpose, seeing as the OP was expressing frustration. I don't know if there is an equivalent "rough-and-ready-but-will-get-you-up-and-running" method with the setup described, but if there was it might be a good way to dip the toes and actually do some observation of planets etc while getting used to the gear, before honing the techniques needed to use go-to.

I have to say that I have zero experience with alt-az mounts!
