About to do a drift align

Hi All.

Just want to know if this would be correct.

My latitude is -37 sth, so for me to pick a star in the East for the first run, i would have to go 37 degrees past the 90 degrees, this would get me pretty close to the celestial equator, right, or not.

The same would also apply to the intersection of the Meridian and Equator, for my star overhead, right...

Would this be correct, or isn't necessary to be that exact and just go East, and straight overhead.

Your response would be much appreciated.

Cheers Leon
