I used the motors only on the second star. Star choice does matter. Canopus and Formhult (sp?) worked well for me.

I always used the motors. Will use the Alt and Az adjustment screws next time there's good weather. Which is hopefully in the next couple of days...
I'm guessing you mean Fomalhaut right?
