Hi Paul,
What platform is your laptop, (Windows, Linux, macOS?) as this determines the toolset you can use to PA, image, etc.
For a Windows setup, NINA gets a very good report and there is a huge amount of support (both here and on other places online). With the various plugins available it's a capable and competent setup.
For Linux and macOS there is KStars/Ekos (which I use, so I may be slightly biased) to handle every aspect of imaging.
I've never used SharpCap, so am not in a place to comment on it. There is also 'Sequence Generator Pro' (which is in the same bucket as SharpCap for me).
Regards,
V.
