I use CCD Commander, but it doesn't help when the object is outside the camera's FOV all together
My camera's FOV is very small (13 arc min x 7 arc min - or there abouts). At last try, slewing short distances (up to 45 degree) isn't a problem, however generally the pointing accuracy isn't good enough to rely upon automated plate solve's, which is exactly my problem.
When my scope is up and running fully again I plan to correct the PA which will get it back to within the FOV all over the sky, but that still often isn't enough for a plate solve for my setup, because of the small FOV (at least that's all I can put it down to).
