Hi. First post!
I've been using Sharpcap 2.9 and a Touptek camera and a 50mm F4 finderscope (~200mmEFL, camera same as Altairastro GPcam AR130M) to polaralign my CI-700. I have an accurately aligned 7x50 PA scope and Sharpcap confirms that it aligns to about 3min from the NCP (which I can confirm visually from the starfield in the PA scope.
The problem arises when I try and adjust in the alt or azimuth direction; Sharpcap always reports that the error in the opposite axis increases even as the error in the axis being moved decreases. I have thought that maybe this has to do with Arizona not using DST or maybe the touptek sensor is being read out in reverse - (another USA user with a Touptek is reporting the same issue) . Anyways, Sharpcap PA seems like a great idea and does accurately report the PA error even if I can't use it to directly refine my PA. I have tried this many times and carefully followed the steps with the autoadvance to next step turned on and turned off but always with the same result.
thanks.
