Attention DRIFT aligners
hey im new to drift aligning and i cant seem to get my head around something. if im using a Newtonian telescope and adjusting the azimuth (ie with star on the meridian above the SCP) and i noticed that the guide star drifts in an upwards (northerly) direction, does the azimuth need to be adjusted towards to the west or the east? also is the 'upwards' direction governed by the movement from the RA axis?
i have found a few guides on the internet but most are for the northern hemisphere (so im supposed to reverse it?), and one site mentioned that u have to reverse everything for a Newtonian telescope. trying to get my head around it is sending me mad!
