Yep, plate solving is insanely useful and worth the grey hair to get it going well. You'll probably still need to adjust your FOV for some objects however unless your mount is high end. So once you use plate solving to get in the ball-park, then you can worry about a few high iso 30sec to 1min shots to get the field composed the way you want it.

Plate solving is SO useful for multiple night runs too. Once you do get centred, record your co-ordinates and subsequent imaging runs or pier-flips so much less time consuming.
