Sharpcap Polar alignment

I tried it out for the first time last night. Very clever software.

It worked well. I need to read the manual to know exactly what is meant by left and right but apart from that it went smoothly.

It does seem a little slow to update with changes though. About 1min to 1:30 to update but I figure that may be the largish files from my QHY600 although I was using 3x3 binning so that would be about 10mb images.

Any advice there?

Do you do more than one iteration? I got it to where it said good polar align and fairly small error. I thought a 2nd run might fine tune it more or is it a waste of time?

Greg.
