Assuming the ASCOM driver allows it, you should see the Sync to Object button enabled whenever you have slewed to a target (allowing you to electronically "nudge" the scope to point at the target before hitting the Sync button).

It does not seem logical to make that intermediate stop and additional selection.  It seems more logical to have a "Select Bright Star" button on the main screen and select that if I am trying to check or obtain telescope alignment.  What am I not understanding here?  

Go to the Telescope menu and unselect High Precision Slewing (choosing it in the menu toggles its state).
