in |Settings|Scope control| click on the COM port the telescope is connected to
and try LX-200 or NexStar mode. Then you will see a new entry in the toolbar
called "Scop Pad" (I assume you are using english language in Guide). After the
telescope is aligned you can refine the alignement by centering the same star in
Guide and the eyepiece (or ccd) and clicking on "Add Alignement star".
After this you center the object you want to see in Guide and click on "Slew
telescope" or if you want to know what object is in your fov click on "Slew
Guide".

Hope this helps and clear skies
Bernd
