The telescope is now aligned to the sky to a small degree of accuracy and will track in Alt-Az mode. The pointing
accuracy for this method will most likely be within the Finderscope but unlikely in the eyepiece. The longer the period
between alignments will increase the accuracy. This method is meant for someone who only knows one star. At this point
the telescope can be used to point to another alignment star. Align to the second star to gain better alignment.
