glad to hear that you have it working
The offset may be down to a difference in co-ordinate system. The plate solving engine works in J2000. Your mount may work in J2000 or JNOW and should report which to SharpCap. SharpCap will take account of the difference if the mount reports correctly.
Look in the log for these entries when plate solving
