In the field, like at Coolah last week, i use Sharpcap and work off my imaging camera (ASI1600). Very quick but i don't need it to be too precise as the CGX alignment routine is excellent. At home in the observatory the CGX sits in a previously marked position, with Az positions marked on the mount base as well. I just align the base marks, check the Alt with my inclinometer, and i am ready to go. I has targets sitting right on the centre of the camera cross hairs at Coolah, and every goto was the same.
