Actually scope.exe allows unlimited alignment stars.

While the coordinate translation function uses only 3 stars at any one
time, you can select which alignment stars to use. Typically you want to
include the closest alignment star for best local accuracy.

Additionally, scope.exe has a pointing model error correction function
which uses unlimited numbers of alignment stars to make local corrections.
