Note: Once a One-Star Alignment has been done, you can use
the Re-alignment feature (later in this section ) to improve your
telescope’s pointing accuracy.
Solar System Align
Solar System Align is available in alt-az mode (scope mounted directly
on the tripod) and equatorial mode (scope mounted on a wedge).
Solar System Align is designed to provide excellent tracking and GoTo

align the telescope with the sky. Solar System Align is a great way to
align your telescope for daytime viewing as well as a quick way to align
the telescope for night time observing.

display, or wait until the telescope has downloaded the information
from the GPS satellites.

EQ North / EQ South Alignment
EQ North and EQ South Alignments assist the user in aligning the
telescope when polar aligned on an optional equatorial wedge. Similar

EQ Two-Star Align
The EQ Two-Star Align follows most of the same steps as the Alt-Az
Two-Star Align. This alignment method does not require the user to align
the altitude index markers or point towards the Meridian, but it does
require the user to locate and align the telescope on two bright stars.
When selecting alignment stars, it is best to choose stars that, a) have a
large separation in azimuth and b) both are either positive or negative in
