Auto slew 90 degrees after first solved image

I wonder if it is possible for SharpCap Pro Polar Alignment tool to automatically slew the EQMOD connected mount 90 degrees and continue the next image? The ASIAIR Pro Polar Alignment does this slewing automatically and is a really neat feature.

The first successful Polar Alignment I was ever able to accomplish was with SharpCap Pro down here in New Zealand. As you are all aware, there are no obvious bright stars anywhere near the South Pole and SCPro was very helpful in aiding the alignment. I love SCPro.

Thank you for the ever increasing capabilities you are adding to this great program.

Hi Leo,

thanks - I have that idea already in the potential TODO list for a future version :)

I'm just waiting for someone to tell me they have built a motorized alt/az adjustment system for PA and can SharpCap control it.... :D

cheers,

Robin
