For visual, it doesn't have to be that accurate but if people are planning to do photography then it is very important and has to be very accurate.
When I go up to Kulnura I take a compass, find South and plonk the platform down roughly facing the right direction. Get it level, and away I go. Objects might only stay in the field of view for 30-60 seconds but that's enough for what I do at Kulnura.
When I do webcam imaging at home, I have to be much more accurate and it can sometimes take 30 minutes to adjust it until the planet stays in the field-of-view for the whole 3 minutes capture I need. The webcam imaging with a 3x barlow is at a much higher magnification/FL than I do with visual, so any errors in alignment will be evident immediately.
