(3) The telescope will now slew back to Alignment Star A. Repeat the steps above. The iteration can
be stopped when it is determined that the alignment error has been minimized. Press the BACK
button to exit the alignment procedure.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to use an eyepiece with an illuminated crosshair for accurate centering.
NOTE: The movement of the alignment star in your eyepiece may not be perpendicular depending on its
location in the sky.
