Some additional information
Since you have a Canon 600D you can start off with using a canon RS60E3 remote shutter switch and cord to take your exposures ( I did that for 6 months and drove me crazy standing , manually focusing and taking exposures, ok for an hour but not 2,3 or 4 hours which you will need to do with AP eventually)
So then I decided to get a laptop , sit it on a little fold out table with stool and connect it to the camera with a 5m cable , boy what a difference
I think the best Software for a DSLR is undoubtedly BYEOS from O telescope Canada , costs around $45 and was a game changer , so easy to use , framing , focusing , setting a capture plan ,DSO imaging or Planetary imaging. I also have APT for my OSC cooled , APT also will support DSLR’s but BYEOS is so much better as it was specifically designed for Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras ( models from 2007 to current )
I still use BYEOS with my Canon 600D after 4 years , love it !!
It’s some more information
Cheers
