If you drfit align you must know here to look ie look through the polar scope after the drifting shows you have good alignment..? ..if you can't actually see the area of the SCP (trees, house etc) then yes you are unable to use this method. Would be very quick when at Wiruna for example, the reference stars are very easy to see from a dark sky, took me litterally a minute or two to get within 2' of the SCP when I last visted Wiruna with my gear
