Have you guys tried using PHD to align? Just connect PHD to your scope and camera and do a normal PHD calibration. Once calibrated, stop everything, go into the brain button and turn off guiding. Turn the scope east or west about 25-35degrees up, start capturing, pick a star and start guiding. Get the graph up and watch the dec chart, ignore RA. Adjust alt for a flatish line. Stop guiding, turn the scope up, get a star overhead and guide again. Adjust Az for a flat line. Rinse and repeat.

Doesn't work well at long focal lengths.
