I found a really good site that explains drift alignment for the Southern Hemisphere

HI Guys.

Thought I'd throw this one in to the mix. There are many threads here with regards to drift alignment and all of them confused the **** out of me, or I couldn't use it because I cant see some of the stars from my back garden. I found this very straight forward and easy to use.

Hope this helps others battling with this method of alignment.

Well thanks Roger, yours was the first explanation that I actually understood.
