Guide and Imaging Camera Alignment
Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:44 am
I use a Star Adventurer (SA) tracking mount and I'm trying to understand if my guide camera needs to be exactly aligned to the RA axis of the SA for the PA routine in SharpCap to work correctly.
If "yes" then how do I ensure this alignment to ultimately achieve sub-minute PA of the SA.
If "no" then how does SharpCap ensure correct PA of the SA - given the imaging axis is misaligned to the RA axis.
I suspect my question demonstrates confusion and lack of understanding! , but, that's why I'm here, and I would appreciate any help from the experts on this forum please
Thanks
