There is a handbox option to tell the scope to use the real star name vs simply use "brightest".
If you are auto aligning, you also need to do a Calibrate sensors ( after you have done drive training ). The cal sensors will recalibrate the North and level sensors for your local situations, and thus make finding the first align star easier ( as it will get much closer )
To Cal sensors, you need to find Sig Oct, which can be a pain.
Sneaky method is
a) Do a std manual 2 star align, and ensure Gotos are correct.
b) Select and "Goto" Sig Oct, and centre it
c) Mark/note the setting circles.
d) Do the Cal sensors routine
e) When asked to centre Sig Oct, slew manually to the premarked setting circle positions. Sig Oct shld be near the centre of the 8x50 finder
Centre it and you are done.
Auto aligns should now be much more accurate on the first star.
