@ Thabks man I already looked at Jupiter and saw the Galilean moons and I saw Saturn and it’s rings also the first full moon of 2025!

Excellent - They should put a link to this in the telescope user booklet.

[@AllStarTelescope]

That's high praise, thank you!

I have the syscan pro app, purchased license. My app does not have the north star alignment option. How can I get that option?

[@stevebell6057]

It’s a Goto alt/az telescope - polar/north alignment is used mainly for eq scopes.

[@ryanmcmullin3567]

@stevebell6057 he is using the same telescope I have. But I still don't see north star alignment in the app

[@stevebell6057]

@ ... Hello. North star alignment is not in the app - the reason is because the mount on the Sky-Watcher Virtuoso GTI is alt/az, ....Polar/north star alignment is normally used on equatorial mounts (Slewing the Virtuoso GTI using polar/north alignment could damage the scope because it could hit the base).
