Tips. no problem.

First, don't plug the micro focusor in until you have done the alignment.

Second, like Tony said hold the down key or up key and look for the movement. If the assembly does not move then use the other arrow key and it should move. BTW you should only use the up or down arrows not the left right arrows. When the focusor is in the middle of its run and you can tell this because the single thumb screw moves out from its housing. When it is in the centre it will be about three mm from the focusor housing. This is explained real well in the manual.

As for alignment stars go for Sirius and archenar, both of which can be selected during auto alignment by using the arrow keys at the bottom of the handbox. Be advised though that you can only go up and down the list a limited amount. However, you should be able to find a star or two. Also take a star chart out with you to find the alignment stars.

Other than that I can't think at present what else you need to know.
