Ving something else I forgot to mention - on the v3.11 controller it sorts the stars by brightness - so a couple of times when I've used a alignment star that I'm not familiar with - I just tell the eq6 to use that star then it'll slew to the rough location, then with the telrad I just look for the brightest star in that rough area and chances are it's the one the eq6 wants.
you could prob do the same on yours, just make sure the initial position of the mount is correct.
I just got a cheapy $99 illuminated reticle it does the job.
