As DJDD said, I found I had to reset the rate on my EQ5 too, otherwise it moves very slowly, About 5 is OK, any faster and it gets hard to centre the alignment star. 2 star alignment is what I use, and again like DJDD I'm limited to SE through to NE where I am. Use the left arrow key on the bottom of the keypad to scroll through the available stars till you find one thats in your field of view. At this time of year I've been using Achernar and Canopus. Learn how to drift align, it makes it so much easier when you do the Synscan alignment, your usually pretty close if the mount is near to alignment to begin with.
Cheers
Bill
