Thanks for the interest Al. K3ccd tools and Guide Dog etc can place cross hairs on an image, but only a webcam or maybe DSI.
What I use is MaxDslr (and I suppose Images plus is similar) and a 350D.
The attached image is a screen shot using one of the light frames from the TV Libra animation I did. The image shown is not calibrated and is displayed as it comes from the Dslr, but at 20% of full size. It could be reduced further, but I think this will illustrate what I'm thinking off.
Actually since 2 instances of your reticule program can run simultainiosly, a single rotatable line x2 but long enough to cover most image displays would work wonders. If the bright star off to the upper right was an alignment star and I could get it cross haied to the center, it would improve pointing accuracy. As is I use an external taped on affair to show me the center.
cheers,
Doug
