Sky Safari 5 Plus

Has the alignment routine changed from earlier versions of SF? I have a Half Hitch FTX mount with encoders plugged into an Astro Devices BETI unit. Everything connects but when I do the alignment, has the routine changed to a one star alignment? Earlier versions does the first star and the next star you can select as the second alignment star. 5 Plus does the first star OK, when I select the second star, the option for using it as the second star doesn't show - only align and reset alignment. Is the second star actually counted as star 2 or just replacing star 1? Does the mount have to be level if this is only a one star alignment?

    In SkySafari 5 we changed to allowing up to 10 alignment stars rather than the old 2.  You are correct that Align now adds the additional star and Reset resets the model and adds it as the first star.  So there is no one star alignment.

    The mount does not have to be level when using 2 or more stars in the alignment model
