ok. That's right what you are doing. And you have to do this alignement once at
an observing session.

The "Add Alignement star" button has the following function: It will encrese the
accuracy of your pointing. Center a star in your eyepiece or ccd, center this
star in Guide and click on "Add Alignement star".
