If your mount is controlled by EQMOD you should take advantage of its capabilities and use a free planetarium software ( like Stellarium or Carts du Ciel ) to navigate across the night sky
With EQMOD you not need to do a mandatory 3 star alignment to align your mount to the night sky
I usually align and sync to the first star and my pointing accuracy is good enough to slew to objects after that , just minor adjustments to centre objects
Obviously the more stars you sync , the more accurate the Goto and centering becomes
EQMOD is an extremely accurate tracking , Goto and pointing system when coupled with your planetarium
Cheers
