hello Suman.

Windows is supported so you can bring your laptop next to the scope and run everything from there.

this is a good resource to get set up.

I do like you, first a very rough PA with phone compass app. Then when I have the pc connected and everything running I do a PA with Ekos. If I really want to nail it down I also do some final PA, again with the Ekos routine, on the target for the night. I feel that final step ensures the best possible PA needed with a smaller pixel scale and slow optics (I image unguided these days). with your setup is sounds like you are good to go already. With a very good PA perhaps you can go to 2-3 or more minutes exposure if you desire.

Happy imaging
