Hi Martin, I’m using this combination but I added Astrotortilla for platesolving. Now I only use Stellarium to select the target and after it has moved the scope I do a platesolve, which is always very accurate, even if it has to do an iteration. I would recommend this to you as it does not rely on anything else other than the stars your camera images. Especially very dim targets were hard for as it wasn’t always clear whether the scope is actually centred on the object - so long exposures were required to confirm. Now it’s all automatic and Astrotortilla automatically syncs Stellarium after each platesolve. I’m really surprised how great this works and glad it can be had for free. Great tools.

Cheers
