As iceman says, you will only see the bright stars on the screen. When I am trying to aim the camera at a particular section of sky I take an exposure of 10 secs or so to get a few stars in the image. I review the image on camera and compare with my star chart. Then I adjust the camera position if it is not aimed correctly and keep repeating until I get the camera pointing where I want it to be. Once I am happy I then start the barndoor tracking and go back to my usual 64 sec exposures.
