You must pick the star to goto using the control pad...let it slew then just center the star with the keypad arrows......you never manualy slew whilst your doing your 1,2 or 3 star align.
While doing the alignment....your first star might be a long way off...thats ok...just let the mount slew to where the first star should be and just manualy center the star to finish the first star alinment then goto the second star and do the same and so on.
Once aligned you can manualy slew all over the place as the mount will remember what you have done and you can still use the goto functions even if your no longer pointing towards your initial goto target...so yes once aligned you can use both the goto and manualy slew.
Never release the clutches on the mount to move the scope after your inital alignment...if this is done you will loose all accuracy and you will have to start again and do another alignment in the polar position.
Hope this make sence.
