Sonny,?
I think your steps should have the following inserted.
Then I picked Bright Stars from the list in the Gemini 2, slewed, centered up in the main camera (then select menu - align - alignment) then go to the next star and repeat as in this video?. I only had to do this once or twice on each side of the pier and then the object was usually on the chip from that point on. Of course you first have to have a decent polar alignment, I use polemaster for a quick alignment, and PHD2 drift alignment for a really good alignment, but as Brian mentioned there are others equally good or better.?
