+    - Watch the LST reading in TCS. When the LST and the RA position displayed in the Next line on TCS are equal (the value you entered in step 6), hit ''Y'' to confirm initialization on next position.
+//This should get the scope and TCS synched close enough to find a star in the finder scope and go through the normal initialization process.//

+  * Latitude of the observer is equal to the declination of objects at zenith.
+  * LST is equal to the RA of objects on the meridian.
