My apologies for necroing this thread but I it is still very relevant to all of us newbies.
I have a polemaster and find it tricky to use. I think I will have to try the plate solve - I live north of Perth so when facing south to polar align I have to contend with city lights. I can make out the stars but blowed if I can work out which of the combo is to suit the overlay. Driving me nuts to be honest.
I know it must be so, so close (I do a manual alignment using aluminum bar, compass set to -1.7deg dec for true south, 31 deg lat for Ocean Reef) so I know I am peering up into the ball park but just cannot find the star to kick things off.
I keep clicking on one and slowly moving the template around, but alas..
Any hints?
Pete
