set your imaging scope on the object you want and then align your guidescope on a fairly bright star with an illuminated reticle ep.
using your hand controller then keep the star in the alignment box of your reticle as accurately as you can for the length of the exposure.
the higher the magnification you are guiding with should keep the star more accurately aligned and therefore minimal image drift.
the more accurately you are polar aligned will determine how many corrections you will have to make.
