There are many great tutorials on Drift alignment on the web but sometimes they can be just be confusing to most beginners. I found that when I started learning how to drift align. Reading too many tutorials just made things worse because some of them just didn't make sense.
Beren has pretty much covered the procedure you need to follow too drift align successfully.
A handy tip to remember is that if a stars movement/drift speeds up when you make a correction you know you need to adjust the mount in the opposite direction.
Hope this helps.
