I had similar problems when I started..
Aligning camera is easy: just get the red dot finder (couple of bucks on ebay) and/or cheapest finder you can manage and mount it with camera together on some sort of adapter (I have both, when I use 200mm lens, more precise alignment is necessary).
All I need to do is check alignment on bright star every time before I start.
But then again, you are doing piggy-back.. so you already have a finder.
When I am preparing for session, I use CdC.. and the camera FOV could easily be entered into eyepiece/CCD dialog box...
