Sharpcap and mount FoV centering whilst collimating

[kirkster501]

A few stars poking through the murk tonight so I thought I'd collimate my C925.  I like using a camera to do this in Sharpcap.  Is there a way for Sharpcap to keep bringing the star back to centre after you've touched the scope and disturbed the star from the centre of the FoV please?  It's annoying have to recentre it manually again, which you have to do.

I have found the mount control of my Mesu in Sharpcap a bit hit and miss as to whether it works.

Metaguide has a collimation routine which keeps the image centred. I haven't actually used it myself, but it's meant to work quite well.

Thanks, actually it may be Metaguide that I was thinking of .
