I replaced the original bubble level with more sensitive one (~20 arcsec).
This gives me enough consistency for altitude, so the only thing left is azimuth - this is taken care of by compass mounted on a long (1m) aluminium arm. Then I refine with polar scope (if I can see the Octans stars at all) . And the ultimate level of alignment accuracy is drift method after previous has been done (if and when I have time for it)
