But a question re your #3: When you say "manually move the scope", how do you do this without the HC? Do you mean physically "force" it by hand or do you mean use the control buttons in SkySafari?

Hi Paul,
Indeed, move the scope via the control buttons in SkySafari. The Scope will then physically move to what you wish to observe. Once it's dead centre on a known object, you can find that object in SkySafari, select it, then hit "Align". You have then told the scope and software "it is where it is".

When aligning, feel free to use higher power EPs and careful movements to make exact alignments. Also, be sure the mount is dead level. This last few things I'm sure you know, but for the benefit of those googling later...
