Hi Max,
I took some lunar images earlier tonight and I’m now doing some clusters
I found if I build a good 5 to 8 point model across both sides of the meridian with the Stellarium sync feature my goto pointing is not to bad ( just inside the DSLR FOV )
I also found a feature on BYEOS called HD which can improve your live view
So I guess I will wait till the next dark and image some nebula and see how close I can get with Stellarium
Autoguiding is next with PHD2 , and your right probably only 1 or 2 objects a session where as now I can image 4 or 5 objects with up to 1 minute subs unguided

I have no view of the SCP so I use drift or Synscan PA routine to get under 10 to 15 arc sec error which good enough

My OBS location is only temporary as I set up in 2 locations 220km apart

Thanks for your detailed response

Much appreciated !!
