Hello Rob

Sorry to butt in here, my suggestions would be, 1. to buy a licence for Sharpcap, it's 10 pounds a year.
2. A free option would be N.I.N.A., it has a Polar alignment routine ( I haven't used it yet ).

I have found NINA very easy to get a grip with, I'm using a Edge 1100HD with a Hyperstar ( F1.9 )and doing 20 second subs, I have a guide scope but am not using it as the stars are crisp at that exposure time.

Given how easily the rest of NINA works I'll give the PA routine a go soon, I'm only using Sharpcap to do PA's with so if NINA does it easy enough, I'll save my Au$18.00 a year.

Hope this helps.

Ed
