Please help... I want to get this alignment business over and go on to do other more interesting things..

Hi David,
If you adjust the mount's Alt Az using the polar alignment directions from T-point then that model is no good anymore because things have changed.
You have to delete the model and do a new T-point model.
I'd have to read the manual on this point again as you may also be able to do a synch on a star to realign the model after adjustments with the Sky X.
Fortunately its a superbly written manual.
Greg.
