8.3  Alignment Star List 

Although Gemini can perform an alignment or sync operation on any object, it is often 

most convenient to use the   GoTo Bright Star   function under the   Align Telescope   

menu.  This function allows you to select from a list of bright stars currently above the 

horizon.  To aid in selecting appropriate stars, this table lists all of the stars available in 

the   GoTo Bright Star   function.  It is sorted by Right Ascension.
