I am not aware of any ability to do go-to alignments of a Celestron mount using Stellarium. It’s possible using a mobile app like SkySafari Pro but it is my experience that it’s better to do the alignments with the hand controller and then connect to a computer-run program once you’re aligned.

The much larger community at CloudyNights.com would probably be better able to answer you questions in this regard.

Hi,

Is there anyone out there that can help me do a three star alignment of my Celestron C8 with a NexStar mount and using Stellarium?

I suffer from not having a good knowledge of the sky. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Dennis Cottongim
