The brightest star during alignment is rarely in the FOV of a 26mm EP, you usually roughly centre the star using the red dot or 8x50 finder then centre again with the 26mm. (The brightest star will be more apparent in the finderscope). I have found the automatic alignment to be notoriously unreliable, I always override and manually select alignment stars.
