i always find doing that to be quite finicky using just stars to align both scopes.

I point my imaging scope toward something large like NGC 2070 where I would be able to pick the nebulosity up on both the main scope camera (asi 1600mm pro) and the guide camera (asi120mm-s) in the previews. as soon as I have that somewhat centered on both I feel I am good to go. i just hate messing around trying to centre a star on the guide scope to match the imaging scope as I feel i get the same results being CLOSE and not exact.

just my input
