Hi all! I have a Celestron Nexstar 8SE telescope and I even bought the GPS unit for it! For some reason with deep space objects away from the immediate planets, I have trouble accurately centering the three stars during the alignment procedure and while near space objects such as the planets work well with the "GoTo" hand controller, the deep space objects always seem to be slightly off. Do you have any tips or hints on what I should do? Also, if the objects are slightly off, what is the best way to find the objects? Use a star map? I was hoping that with my GPS skysync unit my alignments would be completely on target. It is a little frustrating. All tips and hints would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
