Hi Bill
The only method I have used is drift aligning as my Sth Pole is blocked by trees.
As you have PHD2 there is a drift align menu you can use, it means pointing the scope to the North where the DEC 0 line crosses the Nth/Sth meridian line. This is to adjust the Azimuth bolts, and then point the scope the E or W near the horizon still at DEC = 0 to adjust the Elevation bolts.
This method is slower than your previous method, because you have to wait for the star in the OAG to drift and see if any adjustments are neccessary. Then you turn one of the Azimuth or Elevation bolts and drift again and wait and see if you have made an improvement.
If you haven't done this technique before it could take you 20 mins for the first time and then a lot faster when you are comfortable with drift aligning.
Cheers
Bill
