Run the alignment routine through your DSLR/lens combo (assuming SC can communicate with Canon's) and then close it and switch to your preferred acquisition software.

Hey Craig,
Thanks for your reply!
I started the night off using SharpCap, a previous version so I could use the polar alignment tool, however it kept crashing as soon as I tried to use it, I am able to take test shots and it works with my DSLR with the ASCOM drivers, but whenever I tried to run polar alignment it kept crashing, so I ditched it.
