Hi David and welcome to IIS,
A question to begin with, have you upgraded the firmware on the handset? Sometimes that can help with more time zones to choose from.
With Celestron's alignment, you don't need to know where to point, just point to two or three bright objects in the sky (even planets and the moon will be fine). Assuming you entered the date and location ok, you will get alignment without even need to know which star/planet you pointed to.
Then you just use the direction arrows to centre the object and it will happily track for you.
Good luck
Bo
