BUT ... set up the mount and scope to do the drift alignment I would have had to manually move the scope to the star positions. (It would take an eon to electrically slew the mount there)
Hi Jeff,
As Darryl has suggested the mount has speeds 0-9 for slewing. At the fastest speed 9, the mount can slew in RA from east to west in about 1 minute.

SO ... given my opening statement then how do I restart the mount pointing to the SCP without upsetting the polar alignment just achieved.
Remember that when you power on the mount, you should have the mount in the "home" position and when you power it down, select "Utility" and "Park Scope" to return it to the "home" position before you power it down. This lets the stepper motors know where the mount is pointing to start with.
