Hello David
I would agree and relate part of my journey, I have a Celeston Edge1100 HD, For the first 2 years with it I really struggled to get it aligned ( it also did have a hardware problem that was eventually tracked down and fixed ).
Then I found NINA and forgot all about alignment, I have a set of stars that gets me close enough to the right part of the sky I think I am looking at, then I get NINA to do a plate solve of where it is point to to where it " thinks " it is point to, NINA then will slew tot he target and take another image and will plate solve that to confirm the coordinates and image agree. It is just so easy then to do what I enjoy rather than sweating on aligning the mount.
