I feel your pain, I've just started experimenting with my C11 for imaging and has a focal length of 2800mm, I typically have a Rigel Quikfinder and 9x50 RACI on board, but once you start your drift alignment it becomes irrelevant and your gotos should be pretty spot on once you've got good polar alignment.
I'd also recommend plate solving - I've been experimenting with AstroTortilla - it makes any onboard computer/handset irrelevant and does what you tell it
