  No, with Sky-Watcher you need to do the alignment from the hand control and then connect with SkySafari.

   

  You would choose the "SkyWatcher SynScan" scope type in SkySafari.

  No,  the vast majority of scope types need to do the alignment with the hand control.  We are not trying to duplicate all the functionality of the HC,  we work in conjunction with it.
