please confirm if this is correct

Hi All,

Although i know how to drift align, i have had some confusion over the up and down, and east, and west bit.

Because, when i was doing mine last night, i was actually turning it in the opposite direction than suggested by some, but it was working, and got the eastern horizon one pretty right so far.

So Is this correct please.

Eastern Horizon

If it drifts sth, or down, raise the eq head
If it drifts nth, or up, lower the eq head.

Meridian

If it drifts sth, or down, turn the axis to the west
If it drifts nth, or up, turn the axis to the east.

Please could someone confirm this procedure.

Thanks Leon
