Chapter 5  APPLICATION
Drift Alignment in the Southern Hemisphere

Align the mount to the south celestial pole by using the polar alignment scope.  It will save you a lot of time in the process of drift alignment. 

1

Align the Mount in the direction of Azimuth
Prepare  an  eyepiece  with  cross  hairs  reticle  (illuminated).    Choose  a  bright  star  near  the  celestial  equator  and  near  the  meridian,  and 
put  it  in  the  filed  of  view  of  the  eyepiece.    Turn  off  the  power  switch  of  the  mount  momentarily  while  looking  into  the  eyepiece  to  see 
which  direction  the  star  moves.    Confirm  the  west  and  rotate  the  eyepiece  so  that  one  of  the  cross  hairs  is  parallel  to  the  east-west 
direction in the field of view. 

Align the Mount in the direction of Altitude
Choose  a  bright  star  in  east  but  not  too  low,  and  put  it  in  the  filed  of  view  of  the  eyepiece.    Turn  off  the  power  switch  of  the  mount 
momentarily while looking into the eyepiece to see in which direction the star moves.  Confirm the west and rotate the eyepiece so that 
one of the cross hairs is parallel to the east-west direction in the field of view. 

You may find that the star in the field of view moves slightly in the north-south direction, but ignore it at this stage and continue the adjustments.
Adjust the mount with the azimuth adjustment konbs.  Make appropriate adjustments to the polar axis to eliminate the drift.

If the star drifts south (i.e. It moves down apparently due to inverted view), move the mount to east in azimuth.    

If the star drifts north (i.e. It moves up apparently due to inverted view), move the mount to west in azimuth. 

If the star drifts south (i.e. It moves toward the lower left apparently due to inverted view), move the mount to low in altitude.    

If the star drifts north (i.e. It moves toward the upper right apparently due to inverted view), move the mount to high in altitude.
