No problem unless it is cloudy. Use the Sun. Just remember don't look at it or allow too much light into your telescope. I used this method very successfully using eyepiece projection from the finderscope (align it first). Main scope cap on. Goto telescopes don't allow you to align on the Sun but you can easily use a planetarium program hooked up to the telescope and the "sync" button.
