Can I set up and align my telescope from AstroPlanner?
Not in the current version. This is because the various telescope mounts do not typically give programmable access to the alignment procedures. AstroPlanner assumes you have already set up with the correct site coordinates and time and performed a suitable alignment procedure. It merely retrieves current time and pointing information and requests the telescope slew to given coordinates. However, you can use the built-in Best Pair functionality to help with choosing the best stars for alt-azimuth alignment on an LX200 or other telescope, or the iterative and drift polar alignment features for polar alignment. Also, if you have an accurately polar-mounted Meade-compatible telescope, there is a one-star alignment procedure you can use to bypass the built-in alignment procedure.
