sharpcap v.3

[darknight]

has anyone tried this version yet, and what about pro version, for a mere 10 gbp a year if its good ill hppily support it

Hi,

Am running v3.0 but have not really used it much. Seems stable enough. I have subscribed but, once again, not yet had chance to test advanced features. I agree, for 10GBP annually it's a no brainer really.

I bought it mostly because of the polar alignment routine,  with it i can PA within minutes.

Hi,

I use it a lot of the time,  worth the £10.00 just for polar alignment with camera but I find the whole program very good.

I haven't been able to try the P.A tool yet, but here nothing but how good and accurate it is, I'm not sure it will work for me as I use a skywatcher st80 as a guider scope, and that's well above the 200mm rwcomendwd size, don't spouse anyone has tried it yet with an 80?

I'm sure that will be dine ask robin on Sharpcap forum he will confirm this .

[darknight]

thanks will do

Sharpcap 3 is very good.  Polar Alignment is a minor miracle.  Worth the subscription alone...... just add up the amount of time you waste just 'guessing' at  +/- 5 arc minutes  accuracy.

This programme nails it in about 2 minutes.  Have not looked at the stacking feature yet.... that seems equally as useful.

Also the guy who wrote it ( Robin ) is an excellent chap who patiently talked me through getting a PG mono cam  to work.  Top marks all round.

Hi,  

I tried it with an ST80 and 0.5 focal reducer and it worked fine.  I'm now now using a 50mm  finderguider.  I only changed due to seize of ST80. .
