Drift alignment and GoTo scopes

I'm learning to drift align using my LXD75 and I have what is probably a basic question, but I'll be darned if I know the answer.

If I get a successful drift alignment on my mount then move both axis back to my scopes home position to set up the GoTo accuracy, will this screw up my drift alignment? As long as I don't manually move the scope on either axis, my drift alignment should stay intact, right?

Hi Kirkus,
As long as you do not move the Azimuth & Elevation bolts after drift aligning, you will be good to go!

Excellent! Thank you, Adrian.
