With Platesolving, you dont have to do star aligning. You tell Stellarium to move the scope to your desired object and once finished your camera will take a photo, reference it to a catalogue and if you are not within arcaeconds of it, it will move your scope to tbe exact location.

its repeatable and always dead center. that makes it so appealing as you can shoot the same object night after night with the same framing. you also dont have to worry about meridian flips as the object can be centered in seconds.

... and its free
