Once you have it set up, if you are a little out when you goto a star, centre the star and hold down the enter button for about 4 seconds - then release it - the beep that sounds indicates it is synchronising the star - then press enter again and it will use the synch to refresh the tuning. VERY useful if you're going for a faint fuzzy. You go to a known star nearby and synch then you know the faint fuzzy will be centred when you goto it.
