If I was you, and you are going the astro photography route, I would use EQASCOM and a computer, camera and plate solve, using the dialogue based approach.

Use Cartes du Ciel as your planetarium to connect your scope to and after that, sync to a few points around the sky in your chosen photography app after it has solved your image, and you should be good to go. Your first 2 or 3 stars might be a bit off and need manual alignment and syncing although it will soon learn the model and you can let the mount, camera and software take over.


Some people choose Nina/ASTAP (free), Sharpcap/ASTAP or other imaging and control software with your chosen plate solve software. I use Sequence Generator Pro 4 and Pinpoint, both of which are paid software.


Try this link.

Good luck, enjoy the learning curve!
