Yep I agree completely, and was aware of this though I didn't care to fuss too much about it for my first light - I really just wanted to see that it all worked, even if it wasn't 100% accurate because of my half-hearted attempt at alignment.
Sirius and Rigel were chosen because they were easily visible from where I was in the backyard.
Actually the one thing I'm disappointed about, is the alignment star catalog. There's 40 stars in its alignment catalog, but literally about half of them I can't see because they're all in the northern hemisphere. So it gives me 20 alignment stars, and factor in that half aren't visible at different times of year, it gives me about 10 to choose from. And fomalhaut is the only one in the southern hemisphere.
That's my only beef with it.
When I plan to go out and use it seriously, i'll definitely choose some better alignment stars and be more careful about centering it in a 9mm plossl.
