Bit hit an miss if the scope doesnt have a graduated scale but piece of cake it does (eg a RedCat51).
If it doesnt you can always adjust the tolerance - to say 2 degrees r something

If you want tips on setting up NINA, this YouTube channel basically did it all for me. Very detailed, to the point, but overly technical either.

To the OP, NINA should do this for you via the framing wizard. |
Great, I'll check it out. Thanks for your reply.
