Sure John.
I and many others on this forum use plate solving to point the telescope to the desired target "live". Plate solving is so good you can return to the same target within a few pixels on a camera field night after night. There are many free plate solving options including Elbrus and Astrometry available to amateur astronomers.
I notice you use the word "observing" in your last post. You obviously can't plate solve without taking an image which I clarified in my response to Ed however I also note Ed did not specify "observing" as a consideration in his question.
If you would like some help to get started with plate solving I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.
