Hi Malcolm, the meade stella is just a rebadged Skyfi 3 and stella access is the same as sky safari 5. Meades version doesnt have the latest skyfi firmware but can be updated and then becomes a skyfi, and skysafari is up to version 6. So meades stuff is a little behind in updates. It was expensive, I saved a bit shipping it from bhphoto in new york including shipping and exchange rate. As far as poor alignment goes if it hasnt been used for a while it may need a train motors for the power source and train drives for backlash. Not sure what meade scope and mount your using but if its polar aligned it also needs to be set to polar in the handset. These can certainly affect alignment. I only use alt/az just for viewing as its simpler to set up. Al
