Thanks for the help,
I have been practising my drift alignment on this drift simulator
http://www.petesastrophotography.com...alignment.html. Folowing the instructions I was able to adjust my Altitude and Azimuth until no drift was visible. I have a better understanding now on what I need to do. If I can do it on a simulator I should be able to do it with my EQ6.
I gathered this information and I want to know if it is correct for drift alignment in the Southern Hemisphere.
To correct the Azimuth, I need to watch a star near the celestial equator and meridian. If it moves UP, rotate the MOUNT so the star moves to the RIGHT in the eyepiece. If the star drifts DOWN, rotate the MOUNT so the star moves to the LEFT.
To correct for ALTITUDE, watch a about 15 to 20 degrees above the Eastern Horizon. If it drifts UP, move the mount so the star goes DOWN. If the star drifts DOWN, move it up.
Is this correct?
