New full SGP user and trying to get my head around plate solving. Normally I use Sky Map Pro - Astrotortilla - Maxim. I slew to the target identified in the planetarium, ask AstoTortilla to solve - and it centres the object on the chip. Easy. But as I see it there's no way to do this with SGP - instead you have to either manually enter the RA/Dec of your desired object or upload a plate solved image, which seems a much longer more involved process. Can I check I'm not missing something here - can SGP take RA/Dec from the the telescope and solve on it? Thanks,
Rich
