Also for long exposure imaging you'll need to get into guiding which will take care of any small errors in polar alignment and inaccuracies in the gears. Without guiding you might still get decent images up to a minute.
I haven't operated my mounts with an external computer so I can't help with the stellarium/HC problem.

Hi Tony,
All eq south alignment ask for is correct time, date, country and city then line up the marks on the scope to scope arm. Then after clicking enter on the above Select two star auto align which gives you a list of stars you may want use if cannot get to the right star you want. Like tonight it said goto Sirius and centre then align , then prompts you to hit enter again to go to another star . Centre that star hit enter and prompts align and then comes up as CPC ready to start star gazing. Don't think that's right. Anyway my wedge needs some work to be done to it so after I have sorted that out I will try something different.
