Once you have plate solving dialed in you will wonder why you waited so long to use it.

It does have some frustration involved it getting it setup correctly, but it does work great!

If we ever have a clear night sky I will switch to the Equatorial Grid in Stellarium and see where the telescope symbol ends up. I will make screen shots of both views just to see how they compare. I have never used the Equatorial Grid in Stellarium before tonight so this is very much part of my learning curve. My image was just a very, very rough guestimation of what I had seen in the past. The weather here, I am in the north east part of the country, has been so bad for so long that I have not had very many opportunities for image making sessions. Hopefully, next year will be better.

The Azimuthi Grid is quite useful too!
