Hi,

I have been using this for quite a few months now - for me it is a simple and fast way to get an accurate polar alignment. Ruther was responsive when I requested assitance.

In fact now that I have used this software for a few months I probably do not need it anymore - as I can polar align correctly. Prior to using it I was easily confused. Eg: OK the star is drifting up hmmm...do I turn the adjuster to move the scope E or W? Err, lets see I have a 3 mirror scope and a diagonal in that means errr left on the screen right? Errr. ummm..ok how much to move it? I n ever really felt I had a good grip on it and never had someone to show me the correct way so I found this a most useful drift tutor.

I must admit I use it somewhat different to the instructions, I follow the process for AZ adjustment - and it gets me right in about two iterations (5-10 mins), for ALT I just follow normal follow the drift adjustments but use the WCS screen to get a flat dy over about 300s.
