Show Polar Alignment bigger

Hi, The polar alignment tool is really great. But it is hard to read, if your Laptop is 2 m away from the telescope, while you adjusting the axis of the mount. It would be great to have the following feature: When I am in the mode, where I need to change RA and DEC manually, I would like to have the...

How to select Camera when using DirectShow?

Hi,
I have two cameras of the same producer (Autoguider and imaging camera). When using ASCOM driver, I can select, which one I want to see. If I select the DirectShow driver, SharpCap selects randomly one of them. How can I select in this scenario the camera manually?
Thanks, Rainer

How to update mount position after plate solving?

Hi all,
I did a plate solving with SharpCap and it worked (got the green message with the coordinates). By my EQ6 mount was not updated. I did the same with NINA and it worked, so I guess I did something wrong in my configuration in SharpCap. Any ideas?
Thanks, Rainer
