As I will be "driving " it to the first star, it does not need to know where it is starting from.

If you start it in the correct home position, it should slew close to the first star by itself. Thats the whole reason for the std home position, ie it has a known spot to do a dead reckoning slew from.

And then i read the Synscan manual
. I never realised it didnt slew by itself to the first star.
I normally set my AZEQ5 up in level north and turn it on to view the sun.
After selecting AltAz and setting the date/time, i set it to sidereal, and it is actually aligned and tracking.
( based on how well i got level and North )
