(See Astronomy Basics for help on finding North). Based on the inputted information, the NexStar will automatically pick an alignment star and slew the telescope close to that star. Once there, the display will ask you to use the arrow buttons to aim the Star Pointer at the star. If the star is not visible (perhaps behind a tree), press UNDO to select a new star. Next, center the star in the eyepiece and press ALIGN. Repeat these steps for the second alignment star. When complete, display will read "Alignment Successful". 31
