I have done a polar alignment on my permanently mounted Meade 16" using
the drift method. I have followed the procedure carefully and tracked a
star on the computer screen to make it very accurate. The tracking to
see if the star deviates from the reference line of where it should
remain was for about 10-15 minutes. I think the polar alignment is
right on, but I always wonder. Has anyone had the experience using the
drift method and thinking the polar alignment is right on, but in
reality it was quite far off?
