You can save this

Don't complicate things any further and attach a tracking motor to your Omegon mount. You will avoid having to continually center the observation objects manually. Plug it in and focus on enjoying.

The motor takes away your work and moves the telescope at the same speed at which the stars move.

The object remains centered in the field of view as long as the motor is on
