Because camera manipulation is involved, it is helpful to enable Overview brackets, so that you will know where exactly where you are pointing your camera. With brackets enabled, aligning the camera is as easy as moving the target celestial's icon toward your ship's indicator. Check the [[Overview Guide#Setting Up Bracket Presets|Overview Guide]] to see how to enable brackets. You can press Alt+Z to turn all brackets on and off.
