Starry nights is fine, it has the same FOV feature you can customise.

You dont need anything else to use an OAG, just SN and the OAG, and set up the FOV manually. With no rotator, you just set the FOV rotation to the same as the cam and leave it. Even though the "DSLR" indicator doesnt have the seperate guide chip indicator, you can build a "CCD" (which has the guide option) from scratch with the DSLR chip dimensions and the guide chip.

I plate solved because I could, but you dont need to, manually finding the OAG position is fine. I suppose I should have actually physically measured the OAG pick-off mirror distance before I assembled the image train, that would have been a lot quicker ;-).

I like SN more than Sky, but the PME needs the Sky so im stuck with it.

BTW, so yes you can use an OAGer with a DSLR or CCD, no diff really, so long as the OAGer is large enough for the pick-off mirror to be out of the DSLRs FOV. Ive only used a MOAG, is was easily big enough.
