Before the last alignment, I chose to "reset everything" in the controller.
After which, Canopus no longer appeared in the 3-star alignment list.
Although, Canopus was still clearly visible far above horizon.
Oh, now, that I write this I have an idea ... is it possible that Canopus was added manually to the list of alignment stars and was lost from the list during reset?
The whole list was quite shorter after the reset .. I thought that was only because by then it was much later and all the other stars had disappeared below horizon...
but maybe...
So this is the story. It was the 3rd or 4th night for me and my scope and while I enjoy the process of learning, it does become a bit frustrating.
