Good day Dean,
You dont have to point exactly North only more or less because after you sync on the first alignment star any true north error would be eliminated. If the first alignment is not visible press the down scroll arrow and the Audiostar will pick the next one on its list. The mount can not function without the controller, one reason is that all your settings like gear ratios, motor calibration and drive training is set in the controller. If you use software to control the mount, I use Stellarium, the software only sends the Ra and Dec to the controller and it does the rest.
