I would have thought that it wasn't possible, due to the 4 minutes difference from day to day in relation to the stars and also movement from season to season. But as has been said, you could do the fine adjustments at night on the stars.

Still learning.
The speed difference is not a problem... unless you confuse RA drift for declination drift. There's 2 things that can be done to avoid that... align the reticle with the movement in RA by using the RA control, and to avoid any chance of confusion make sure the RA rate is set to solar.

The earth still spins on the same axis .
