Star alignment

Post by melvin »

Hi I have been watching a few videos regarding the above and in them, they used Sharpcap, there was a screen that had a reticule so the stars could be well and truly centred. I cannot find that screen, can anyone help please.

I use a reticule all the time. Especially useful when aligning the mount, which I do with the camera and SharpCap rather than an eyepiece.
