That's right.
If the pick off prism is positioned such that a star when in the centre of the camera can be allowed to "drift" (ie with either the RA motor off, or with fine slow motion control) it will end up on the prism. You should be able to do the same during daylight, focus on a definate object and then slightly slew until it shows in the guide. Good practise!!
