Getting your azimuth close using the stick is great but it doesn't help your altitude adjustment. Never trust the altitude adjustment readings on the side of your mount. Apart from not being accurate enough in their divisions the scale are more often than not, incorrectly place on the mount head.

If you want to image then you will need to learn to drift align. By all means use the stick shadow to get close, but it won't be accurate enough for imaging.
