Hi all,
I did a plate solving with SharpCap and it worked (got the green message with the coordinates). By my EQ6 mount was not updated. I did the same with NINA and it worked, so I guess I did something wrong in my configuration in SharpCap. Any ideas?
Thanks, Rainer

Re: How to update mount position after plate solving?
Hi,
how did you start the plate solving in SharpCap? If you do it from the tools menu then all it does is calculate the coordinates for you and show them in the green bar. If you want it to adjust the location of your mount then you need to use the plates solving button in the mount control

Hope this helps, Robin
