Plate solving is a grief-ridden complicated path IMO, unless you want to go full automation, and your gear is very stable and repeatable. I bet the gurus here will bury you with info on how to do it (If they even bother with it at all), but its unessecary.
I always image over several nights on an object, and just eyeball composition with a sub from the previous night with a short Lum exposure, and jog untill they look roughly the same. You can get very good at how much to jog after a few projects. Alignment then sorts out the difference in processing, and perhaps some croping to rid the gaps at the edges.
