PHD2 Drift Polar Alignment for First Time Users

This video is for beginning astrophotographers who need really good polar alignment and can’t see Polaris from their shooting location
Why I made this video:
I HAD to be able to polar align without Polaris because of my need to photo from my porch during Covid19 “stay the hell at home” period.
Drift Alignment was my only solution if I wanted to get some photos while stuck at home.
Problem was I had tried a number of times before and only had MASSIVE failure! Because I had no idea:
• What the expected result of moving the mount controls would be in both in magnitude and reaction.
• I was totally unaware of how long to expect this process to take in all, and how long to get a result from your adjustments.
This dual layer of uncertainty made it initially impossible to figure out why it wasn’t working.
Well now I HAD to make it work. So I looked on YouTube and found a video “Polar Alignment Without Polaris” in which the guy showed how you could get a good polar alignment using a combination of a smartphone app and the Drift Align routine in PHD2.
Now I had actually seen this work and that was huge but the problem was that this guy’s mount was actually pretty close to polar alignment already, but I didn’t have that luxury. I wanted to make it work from not very closely aligned at all.

I realize that this video is too freaking long but I wanted to do it in near real-time so one can understand how long it takes to see the results of your adjustments. If you don't feel like sitting through the entire hour and a half, I have posted the script on my website at: http://www.billtheskyguy.com/astroblo....
