Hi Simple issue (I Hope), trying to centre on a dim star I used plate solving with AstroTortila, the result is here
Solution : RA=14:22:12,Dec=07:45:37S
Field of View : 0.85x0.58 degrees
Time : Sat, 08 Jun 2019 21:43:40 GMT
Orientation : up is 4.8 degrees E of N
This was incorrect, this morning I run in native AstroTortilla and discovered that Dec should have been -07:45:375 the sign was dropped.
Best regards
Paul

Re: Plate Solving
Oops, yes – I get the same result when I try to solve an image with a negative declination.
I will get a to doubt very quickly for that. Thanks for posting.

Re: Plate Solving
Hi,
You had me worried there, but it turns out that everything is working as it should. SharpCap displays declination with a North/South suffix rather than with a plus/minus sign before the value. Unfortunately the S as the suffix is easily confused with the digit 5, which I think is what has happened to you.
Anyway, rest assured that the plates of position was understood correctly by SharpCap.
