Giving a try to my new setup the ZWO AM5 mount. Very initial stage of this ZWO AM5 mount so cannot write much at this point of time. But yes, no longer star alignment is needed, which reduces one step compared to EQG mounts.

M45....
The Pleiades (M45, the Seven Sisters) is an open star cluster located at a distance of about 444 light-years from the Earth. It is the nearest Messier object to our planet and one of the most prominent deep-sky objects (magnitude 1.6). To the unaided-eyed observer, it usually appears as a smaller copy of the Big Dipper surrounded by a cloud of dust – a blueish six-star pattern.
