Just a small side note on this, using this method, I found two things that were quite interesting.

1) My drift was virtually eliminated. I spent over 30mins on Jupiter with absolutely NO corrections.
2) When pointing the scope towards SCP, the 168 deg south was right, but the Altitude setting which WAS set correctly for my house of 33 degrees latitude, ended up being 36 degrees when I got the SCP centred correctly.

Anyone have any ideas on this one? Perhaps an inaccurate Lat dial?
