Trouble with Zwo120 MC-s and polar alignment

#1

Post by thardie »

I am using a zwo 120 MC-s 3.0 usb and their 30mm guide scope. It never seems to be able to plate solve. I switch to PHD 2 and the setup works with their polar static tool. I can seem to figure out what I need to set in Sharpcap to match the PHD 2 program so I can get the camera to work. I am guessing PHD 2 must be using a black and white setting. I am new to all of this so any advice would be a great deal of help. PS I the camera worked on a 60mm Svbony guide scope and sharpcap on my C5 setup. Thanks in advance.
