I was going to first drift align the mount and see what happens. It is facile to just adjust azimuth and elevation of the mount on one star as it depends on where it is. It is all about othogonality or independant variables.
You can adjust azimuth on a star near the meridian and it will not move. Conversely adjust elevation on a star near either E/W horizon and it will not move.
Drift alignment is the opposite of this.
