Many thanks for your advice cventer. On page 67 of the The Paramount MX user guide (step 7 of quick polar alignment) recommends to chose a "bright star within 5 degrees of the pole or 5 degrees from the meridian", looking through the eyepieces, I would never be able to identify correctly such star. Can I use any star as you have described?

Thanks
