G'day Peter,

It looks like the Polemaster is the first reasonably priced plug and play offering on the market. As much as I was tempted to purchase one, it seemed odd to be adding yet another camera to my setup.
The idea of using software for PA is nothing new itself.

Having read up a little more it seems that the Sharpcap software should be able to give results around the 30" mark which would make it a very interesting proposition for anyone in my position.

So far I've managed to reach focus in my GSO/Bintel 8x50 finder by removing the back section and strapping on an ASI120mm. That seems to give the right FOV for the software. Now if I could only find the option for clear skies in the drop down menu's.

Another thing I've tried is to attach the camera to the polar scope on my AZEQ6. It would seem that it would require cutting back the end of the PS to get enough in focus.
Does anyone know what the focal length is on the Skywatcher polar scope?
