Sonny,
Love the Polemaster for quickness and ease, and the pretty close polar alignment. But I always follow with a PHD2 drift alignment for taking long multi-frame exposures over the course of the night. The closer you are to the North Celestial Pole, the less PHD2 (or other app) has to make corrections to stay on target. Also the frame will stay more centered and less cropping will be required during image processing.?
You may also wish to use PemPro to reduce the periodic error from the gearing. You can download for free and upload the correction curve to the mount before the trial period expires. Then with reduced PE, PHD2 can perform better still.?In the end you'll have rounder stars and be able to do longer exposures. I have a permanent setup and can go for numerous weeks before any mount tweaking after doing the aforementioned.
Cheers,
John
