Hi Alex,

Something I noticed last week when I got my polar alignment very good.

When adjusting Azimuth (star at zenith): when I first started to adjust, the star moved in the right direction, but not perpendiclular to the drift. As I got closer, the adjustment moved the star more and more perpendiclar to the direction of drift. So, if your star difts down and when you adjust to move the star left, the angle that it actually moves will be an indication of how close you are. The more perpendicular to the drift the closer you are.

Hope this makes sense

Cheers
