I only get the "connect" option on my MacBook, it will connect to my 8SE, but not give me the "connect and align" option.  I finally gave up and used my IPhone that I also have Sky 6 Pro on to do a "connect and align"....

  Hi Tim, 

  I figured it out.  The process is a little different that SS6 on iOS.

  You need to manually align on three stars by centering on a star and tapping "Align".

  You need to center a star in the scope, select the same star in SkySafari, and then tap Align.  Do this for 3 or more stars (I believe you can have up to 10).

  I got a further detail on a follow up from Keiron, posting it here for others:

  Assume you are starting from zero aligned stars every time.
