Stellarium can be used repeatably via ECMAScript .ssc scripts. Stellarium has been steadily enhancing scripting capabilities and general capabilities, so there's often a benefit to running a newer version of Stellarium.
From Stellarium, press F12 to open script load / run dialog.
Here are a few relevant parameters.
FOV = field of view.
LabelMgr.deleteAllLabels() // clear off any labels that clutter view
core.setDate("2000-01-23T04:45:15","utc",true) // use UTC time
core.setTimeRate(0) // do not advance time, pause at the specified time
StelMovementMgr.zoomTo(FOV_degrees, 0) //0 disables zoom animation
core.setObserverLocation(lon, lat, alt_meters, 0, "myName") // 0 disables move animation
core.moveToRaDecJ2000(RA,DEC,0) // move to right ascension, declination : 0=without animation
core.setDiskViewport(false) // use full window, not a simultated circular lensTurn on azimuthal and equatorial grids:
GridLinesMgr.setFlagAzimuthalGrid(true)
GridLinesMgr.setFlagEquatorGrid(true)Turn on constellation lines and labels
ConstellationMgr.setFlagLines(true)
ConstellationMgr.setFlagLabels(true)Turn on compass cardinal points (NESW) and turn off landscape
LandscapeMgr.setFlagCardinalsPoints(true)
LandscapeMgr.setFlagLandscape(false)
