Would anyone be able to tell me if this would work well? I would be polar aligning after setting up the camera etc. I attached a photo of what I am thinking about.
Thanks,

I have a polemaster but have now stopped using it. I find the Polar alignment in sharpcap much easier to use and it yields better results. Another advantage of Sharpcap is it will use your existing Guidescope and camera. You don't need to buy anything.
The Polemaster is normaly mounted in the Polar Scope hole and is in the center of the RA rotation. It may work mounted away from there. You will have to try it, Or maybe someone already know ?
