I have just discovered that you can run/use CPWI simultaneously with CDC or Stellarium or StarryNight, CPWI acts as the equivalent of a software HC.
The telescope position gets updated in both programs in real time, all you need to do ( in CDC for example ) is to choose the CPWI ascom driver in telescope configuration.
So you can align with CPWI/starsense for example, and then use CDC or Stellarium to click (select object) and then slew (or sync)
So we have the best of both worlds...
