Hi, a helpful aid to composition and polar align: If the Circular Reticular Overlay could be scaleable to "apparent" focal length with markings in Arcmins. This would be a very helpful addition.
Many thanks for the consideration,
Mark

Re: Scaleable ("apparent" Focal Length) Circular Reticule Overlay
Hi Mark,
that sounds plausible as long as we have the pixel size (most cameras) and the focal length (via ASCOM). I will put it on the todo list.
cheers,
Robin

Hi Robin, thanks very much, please allow for manual input - I, for example, do not use an ASCOM based camera or scope link (except for the celestron focus motor). All the best, Mark
