G'day Daniel.
When you are drift aligning leave your tracking on. It only drives the RA motor and not the dec unless you are making the mount move with the handpaddle or doing a go to or autoguiding. Ignore any movement back and forward/drift in RA, you are only adjusting the mount to counter drift in Dec north or south.
When I make adjustments in Alt or Az I use the handpaddle to keep the star in the field of view as I make adjustments. ( actually use a webcam and the laptop screen but the same principle applies using a reticule). This saves me having to keep hunting the star down
