That should work fine.

Good article. I don't have a alt/az myself but it was a interesting read.

Hi, You need to set your location in EQMOD and whatever planetarium software you're using, they need to be exactly the same. You input the longitude and latitude for EQMOD in EQMOD Setup, not in ASCOM, it's in the light vortex guide. If you weren't using the refraction correction in Sharpcap then yo...

You have to make sure the polar scope is aligned with the mount to get any accuracy at all. What apps are you using that disagree with Sharpcap?

Thanks. The new ascom driver works a lot better than the old one

Hi, do you have a link to the new dslr ascom driver please? I'd like to check it out. I'm using a Canon 600D.

The feature I want to use from ASPS is to be able to click anywhere in the solved image and get the RA/Dec of that point. Do you know of an app that will do that?
Thanks

Sorry no, good luck with it.
