Drift Alignment

Hi again all,

I'm starting to feel like pain asking somewhat basic questions, but I would be grateful if someone could clear this one up for me.

I have palm trees all around my house at roughly 25 degrees. Now when drift aligning they say to target a star near due south and at 0 degrees DEC for AZ and then for ALT the Eastern or Western horizon and at 0 degrees Dec. Ref: http://www.astrophotoinsight.com/pub...d-drift-method

Can I drift align at around 30 degrees at least?

I have Alignmaster but like many I want to refine my polar alignment spot on.

Thanks heaps
Dan.
