First screen is about setting your location. You can either manually enter it or it can read from a GPS.

Next screen gives a list of star pairs. Just pick 2 stars you know pretty well and click next.

Click "goto" to get the mount to slew to where it thinks the first star is. Wait for the slew to stop.

Look through your finder and manually centre the star with your gamepad or hand controller. Click next.

Repeat for the second star.

Alignmaster now calculates how much you had to adjust for each star, and from that calculates what you need to adjust your mount's alt and az screws to align.

It will stay at the second star and slightly slew off it. You then adjust your az screws until the star is centred. Repeat for alt.

It will then ask if you want to repeat the process. I usually repeat 3 times to refine the alignment.
