Re: Polar Alignment at long focal length - 2500mm

Since I use an OAG and don't want to add anything else on the main scope, is something like the iOptron iPolar or QHY Polemaster my next best option?

Polar Alignment at long focal length - 2500mm

Does Sharpcap do well with polar alignment on a long focal length scope like 2500mm?
It seems like plate solving is an issue with other software at this focal length.

I have a 10" Meade SCT and using the ASI294MC Pro camera so my field of view is only 0.43° x 0.29°

Thanks in advance.

ASI294MC Pro Cooler ?

Total noob to Sharpcap (first post). I have the ASI294MC Pro camera, I ran a sensor analysis and all looks good. My question is, When I select to turn on the cooler, I can see the numbers changing with regards to the Cooler Power, Temperature etc., but the fan on the camera never comes on. Am I miss...
