Bakhinov Mask for sure! As well as laptop onscreen assist. If you have the laptop there, use it to the best of its ability. Get that star as sharp as possible. While I don't have, nor have i used live view in camera, I can't see how a 2.6in screen (with dubious resolution) at 10X zoom can compete with a 15 or 16" laptop screen at 6x zoom. You just know you've nailed it on the laptop screen.

Plus you can adjust all your camera settings there and not muck around with the back of your camera and risk bumping and misaligning your shot
