I have a HEQ5Pro
I set it to magnetic South with a compass
Level by eye, almost always do only 2 star align.Then it's "up up and away"
Its distance to initial alignment stars seems random and I don't worry anymore.
I would waste heaps of time fussing about with my initial polar alignment.
Drift alignment is a different issue.
Most errors are me aligning on wrong star.

'Nuff said?

I take the first 2 stars that come up in menu (unless they are behind my Hill)

so i see....
