as for moving your scope left right up down, go one way, if it starts drifting faster, go double the distance in the oppisite direction. I cant remember all the details of if the star drifts this way. if the star drifts that way meh  thats my method. and admittedly i actually do alot of man handling, not trying to do it with the screws on the eq6, i just loosen them off all the way for the RA and twist it till im in the ball park.
- you also need a decent compass to get you there sooner rather than later...
- and level your mount (not using the bubble level as on most scopes its off
