Example - For 3 star alignment:
(N/A for 1 or 2 star alignments)
If you align 1st on Star 'A', it will lock in. It believes you have located 'A'.
Then the 2nd star is Star 'B'. You lock it in and it believes you again.
Then Lock in Star 'Z' accidently, instead of Star 'C', it will use trigonometric parallax (triangulation) and know that the distance between 'Z' and 'A' is too far apart. Goto's will allow for a small amount of error but if the distances don't 'compute' after triangulation, they spit it.
The 3 stars don't have to be an equalateral triangle. Just be the right ones selected.
