Hey Mark I gave you method a try tonight. I have a little trouble to start with but spen a lot of time setting up the scope before hand to get as close to the SCP as I could. I used the drift method and it seemed to work. What I did do is that each time I made an adjustmet I would Re-center the star and reset the drift target. I had a little trouble getting a star in the east as I have trees in the way so this part I was not able to get the best result. However I have an electronic Protractor so I was happy my Dec was pretty good.. I have just been taking some shots of Eta and the results look good apart form the light sky from the moon.. I think I am getting on to of this thaks to all your help.

I have never added pictures before so I hope I have got it correct. But here are some images of my setup and how I had it prior to Drift Aligning..

Thanks f
guys for all your help, it's working
