Thanks for your replies. I was under the impression that PHD2's polar drift alignment was not accurate enough. The videos I've seen on it seem to dictate to run additional polar alignment like static or drift. If polar drift alignment is accurate enough, that's good enough for me. :)

The same goes for the Ekos polar alignment. I was under the impression that you had to be exactly 30° apart in order to get proper data for alignment, but if just rotating to approximate 30° positions is adequate for proper alignment then I'm good to go with that. Is there a provision in Ekos to manually rotate?

Thanks again for your replies.
