A stupid question for you, do you know if they have to do a star alignment each night or on a regular basis at all? Or is the telescope so accurate that it simply always knows exactly where it's pointing all the time?

Good question, honestly, I don't know, they do use an imager that looks at part of the field and tracks on a star in that field. Listening to Chuck, the tracking is not that great. When moving relatively small distances from field to field, the target was often out by a large enough amount to cause him some concern.
