My point was that the Nexstar series mounts give you a list of stars to choose from, which assumes that you know which star is which. The Skywatcher
HEQ5 type mounts do the same thing, but the SLT series mounts allow you to choose any bright stars you wish, so you don't need to know the name of any star, just choose any two or three stars that are well apart from each other, too easy, you can even use the moon as one of the bright objects.
