as an afterthought
Once you get the 'easy' alignment happening OK and you know the names of the bright objects you can see in the sky then the other available align methods (which are a bit more precise) will ask you to nominate the objects from a list (based on whats above the horizon at the location/date/time you put in before aligning) You pick the first object and centre it (using the same method as in the main post I made) and the scope will then slew itself to where it thinks the second object you pick is in the sky (If your tripod is reasonably level then it's usually pretty close). you centre and align that object and then depending on the align method you chose - 2 star or 3 star -The scope will align or request you to pick the 3rd star/planet
Once you get the 2 or 3 star alignments sorted out you will find the scope will be spot on when doing gotos
