Test SharpCap Pro with my equipment?

[Mick G]

Is there a way to test if sharpcap pro will work for polar alignment with my equipment before I purchase? I would be using an Astrotec AT72 (fl 432) with a .5X and a starshoot autoguider. I have tried the free version but can't proceed to step two.

Hi,

you should be able to get to the end of Step 2 without needing a license if everything is working as it should. At that point you will see the message about needing a license if you try to press next and the polar align error will be shown - like this

(the colour scheme is part of the new dark mode I'm working on for 3.2, ignore that).

If you get this far with no trouble then all the hard work is done - all you need is a license to get polar alignment working. If you can't get to this stage then check out the troubleshooting tips - https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/sharpcap/fea ... leshooting
