There is no shortcut to compensate for poor polar alignment as the mount needs to work harder to correct every slew both in RA & DEC. Whereas with good PA RA movement will be good.
I create a sequence in Capture tab which has 10 subs and save it.
In Scheduler there are tick boxes for Align, Focus, Guide and Track. I tick Track and align and load the sequence I previously saved. I set the Repeat for to say 10 which gives 100 subs. So what the scheduler does is before starting each sequence (10 subs) it does an align. So in simple terms...
- Align & Track, capture 10, Align & track, capture 10,.............

SGL has a lot of folk from UK & Europe so it never hurts to ask there.
