Rules for choosing alignment stars

Rules from Skywatcher :

Rules for choosing alignment stars:
• It is recommended that the altitude (angle of elevation above a theoretical flat horizon) of the two alignment stars are between 15 and 60 degrees and the difference in altitude between them is between 10 and 30 degrees.
• The azimuth (Compass direction) difference between the two alignment stars can be between 45 and 135 degrees, BUT it is best to be close to 90 degrees.
