Set up your EQ6 so the polar axis is facing as close to true south as possible. (your counterweight bar will start pointing down - ie vertical). Rotate the scope in RA so the counterweight shaft is horizontal. Rotate the scope in DEC toward the north so the scope is at a right angle to the polar axis - you are now pointing close to the intersection of the merdian and the equator. All you need to do then is find a nearby star and start drift aligning.
Hope that makes sense?
