Hi Mark,

Once you have altaz circles on your scope all I would do is get an Astro app such as SkyMap Pro (iPhone, I'm sure you can find similar for Android) and set it to show altaz coordinates for whatever you select on screen.

At the start of an observing session you will need to set the azimuth circle, by pointing the scope at a known bright star near the east or west horizon, and turning the circle until it shows the correct azimuth.

Adding encoders and a SkyFi adapter would make it a push-to scope and should work fine.
