Hi
You can add as many alignment points as you like
But you sync it from stellarium
Ctrl 1 for slew and then once you've centered the star you'll see that the telescope reticle is a little away from the object. But once you press Ctrl 3 which is sync, you'll see the scope reticle moving to the object in stellarium

In the advanced view of the eqmod window, you'll seethe point count as 1, and will increment as you sync
And the button to view the points will show them in a circle, concept is that any goto to a target within alignment points should be accurate.

But best if you spend time with polar alignment, get it as close as you can. Then do the sync. Most objects will be within the fov

Edit: by the way you don't use the hand controller at all if you're using eqmod
