My main challenge is to get AstroTortilla working

At the moment, I've just been manually adding 4 points for each pier side (three spread out along the horizon plus one near zenith) which gets me pretty close to everything. When I'm about to image a target, a couple iterations of goto-capture-solve-sync seems to get me to within my EQ6's accuracy limits.
Actually you'd need to buy the full version of Pinpoint I've remembered now. Maxim won't let you call plate solving objects etc without that (unless you write keyboard calling scripts which is messy). I just think Pinpoint is the bees-knees in plate solving. I'd only ever tried Elbrus and found it tricky though - never Astro T.
