I use Apt with my Nikon and find it easy /simple to use , I use with my autofocus unit ,platesolve via Astap,connects to a variety of planetariums, dither via phd2, it’s go to routine is great and go to++ is brilliant, the new autofocus routine is excellent , you can auto focus using a lens if you use a canon camera , you can run scripts which I have dabbled with ,in that I set it to park mount after finishing imaging run , if you use a ccd you can use a raspberry pi via server mode (dslr is planned to use server mode from v3.9 ) there’s quite a lot it can do to be honest and Ivo’s support on the forum is excellent, have a read through the APT manual for a full list of features
