The method to use one star alignment is not to use the hand controller.

Tell the Synscan controller to move to your chosen star, say Acrux, and then loosen the clutches and move the scope by hand so the Telrad inner circle lines up with Acrux. Once its close lock the clutches and you can fine tune with the hand controller.
As I mentioned this only works if the mount/scope is permanently mounted in an Obs and is already polar aligned.
