Stellarium tracking and star alignment?

[chrisowen66]

Hi all,

I have a Skywatcher 10" Dob. Due to the handset packing up recently, I've now decided to either use Stellarium to control the scope, or the Synscan app/Wi-Fi adaptor method. Because it's cheaper, I want to try Stellarium first, but I have two main questions which I hope someone can please answer. Once Stellarium has slewed to the object, will it then be able to track it? Or do you need to quickly 're-slew' to get the scope to re-centre on the object? I've tried to google this, but can't find the answer. And also, how do I perform a star alignment if I'm using Stellarium? Does the software take you through an allignment? Many thanks.
