There is also a function that you can use, while the program is running, to input the ra and dec of any object you want. No waiting, running a different program or nothing. Just type it in, tell it to goto and it goes. The program operates best when you boot from a floppy disk with just the system files on it. No long wait for the computer to load this file and that file like windows does, just the system files.
Alignment is super easy to do.
You polar align the scope, boot up the computer and open scope, point the ota to a bright star and focus at high magnification, open the bstars.dat file and hit the R key. Alignment is complete. You can now open any of the data files and start observing. No fuss no muss. It takes less than 5 additional minutes for me to be observing.
