Anything is better than my previously long used "there's the neighbour's chimney, that's south" method.
My problem with drift alignment is I don't have a lot of time from when stars appear over the mountains until they drift behind a tree line or other mountains. I've long heard drift is the best available for accuracy but I haven't been able to mess around with it. One day I'll take my gear (a small scope) to a friends farm and try and perfect the method there.
My main imaging to this point has been mainly lunar and planetary when health and weather permit so long exposure and absolute accuracy hasn't been a major issue but I really would like to capture some nebulae images eventually.
For now I'll just stick with being a Lunartic!
