Help with Alignmaster please

Hi all, I used alignmaster for the first time the other day and it worked great. However I tried it last night from home and could not get a visible pair of stars. Some of the combinations were up but too low for me to see from my spot at home. Acrux may have been okay at 6.30pm but by 7.30pm when I was aligning it was too low.

I remember reading once about some files you could get to add extra star combinations but I cannot find the post anywhere.

Is there an alignmaster user out there that could point me in the right direction?

cheers
Brett

Thanks Peter, I have copied your file into my directory.

One other question with Alignmaster, how does one add custom locations or do you have to enter the co-ordinates of your location every time?

Not sure about that one - I use a USB GPS connected to the laptop.

Just stick your gps details in and it holds those details, lol i don't worry with a bluetooth gps anymore due to the iphone. I always level my mount before running this saves time adjusting your alt bolts, I love it to death and can't live without it now. Another tip make sure your time is correct because otherwise it wont work, in the time box i have 10 for melbourne, sydney ect.
