You can speed up DA significantly by using a software-assisted solution. I've found the new automated drift alignment in PHD2 works really well (is fast and quickly gets one down to <10" or lower), and is just part of the logical 'workflow' since I'm using this for guiding anyway.

I've heard that using plate solving in AstroTortilla can also allow for precise and fast alignments - but I'm yet to try that out thanks to the %$#@! clouds over the last two months!
