Paul,
my knowledge on this is somewhat limited, and I tapped Jase for a bit of help ages ago, which worked at the time.
As I understand it "Plate Solve" is predominantly done by the programs you are using. In my case it is TheSky, and Maxim (although I have all but thrown my toys out of the pram with maxim).
For Maxim and TheSky to work you need either the databases or IIRC "Pinpoint". Maxim comes with Pinpoint LE I think. In my case I had to load on extra star databases.
So it depends on what software you are using, what do you capture with, and what planetarium software do you use if any?
Jase will know or others will be of more help no doubt. I am sure your mount will not be the weak link.
