You don't have to choose the first star the hand controller suggests for the 2nd star. It just picks then alphabetically. Use the scroll buttons and pick a star that is higher in the sky.

hi Terry
Cant see SCP. Light pollution and house roof in way.
Each of the alternative second stars are low on horizon.
My backyard really is a bad place for observing as the neighbours have tall trees on each side.
If the goto fuction is finding objects accurately, isnt that an indication that the polar alignment is reasonably accurate?
maybe I should choose different stars for alignment. I think you can specify alignment stars out of the alignment routine, but then if all alignment stars are high in the sky doesnt that lessen the accuracy of the alignment?
