Hi all,

I haven't done AP yet but wanting to start soon. I have learned about drift alignment and autoguiding and I would like to know the following when using a method of guiding (Off-Axis or guidescope);

1. Do I still need to do drift alignment ?
2. Can a finderscope (I have officina stellare 12x60) be used as the guidescope or must I have a separate guidescope for guiding ?

I hope the above makes sense
Any help appreciated
