Since I switched to EQMOD and APT, I haven't done an alignment. I connect to EQMOD and APT as usual, open PointCraft, click on SCOPE POSITION. I then just select my target within APT (I've added a long list of custom targets as a downloaded file from another forum), and it moves to that target. It often isn't right on target, so once it's solved that image, it moves again and then solves a second image. After the 2nd or 3rd go the target is in the centre by <10 pixels. And if your target isn't in APT, just enter the RA and DEC and that's it. I do run CdC via EQMOD at the same time, but I use that for info and targeting and seeing what is nearby etc.
