Polar alignment with less than 90° rotation

#1

Post by Kahless »

Hi!

Polar alignment works great with Sharpcap.
You get the instruction to rotate the mount by 90°.

Would it be possible to build a second variant into Sharpcap, where only less, maybe 30° has to be rotated?
I am aware that the result will then not be quite as accurate.
Nevertheless, this would be very practical to align EQ platforms (as used for dobsonians).

Thanks and CS,
Mario

It's already there.
There's a check box on the first or second screen in Polar Align that's called "Advanced" (or something like that) which allows less rotation.
