Here's the Takahshi procedure straight from the manual. It is no different to other finder systems like with your S-C
· Alignment Procedure
1.Place a low power eyepiece in the tele-scope and center a bright star in a convenient part of the sky. Do not for-get to engage the motor drive to keep the star centered. If this procedure is done in daylight, use an object that is at least one mile away. Loosen the lock nuts on the finder bracket and slightly move the star to the center of the field using the adjusting align¬ment screws.
2.Then use a higher magnification eye-piece and repeat the procedure by cen-tering the object in the field of view of the telescope and then the finder. Continue this process until the high¬est possible magnification has been used.
Finally, tighten the lock nuts and lock¬ing screws. If the object moves slightly, adjust alternately tighten and loosen the locking nuts until the object stays in the center.
41 Adjusting Screw Procedure
1.Turn all the lock nuts until they reach the head of the alignment screws.

2. In order to move the crosshair in the direction of the arrow, first loosen screw (a) and tighten (push) the finder with screw (c). This procedure will move the crosshair in the desire di¬rection. The top of the finder will move in the opposite direction and the object will move in the direction of the smaller arrow.
Refer to Fig.9.
3. In a similar fashion the direction of the movement of the finder is made by adjusting the three screws.
Learn the relationship between the move-ment of the three adjusting screws. If the finder cannot be moved in the de¬sired direction, loosen the locking nuts.
[EDIT: most cheap finders do not utilise the locking nuts, but it is not important - just adjust the 3 screws]
