[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

I used it for the first time one night last week to PROPERLY align my Takahashi Teegul Sky Patroll II with the FS60-C doing the honors optically and an Agent webcam (cheapie) providing the imaging.

All I did was tell the program that I was looking AT a star in the south (Alpha Centauri) and that it was (according to my planetarium) sitting at 19 degrees elevation.

I rotated my webcam so that a star image moved reasonably horizontally on screen when I moved the scope back and forth in RA using the slow motion control. I then did a "Calib" which took care of any inaccuracies by putting the star in a grid on the left (clicked on the star) and then in a grid on the right. This told the software that my camera's CCD was 1.24 degrees off kilter and it compensated from then on.

I did the RA exercise three times and then turned to Rigel (in the west at the time) to do my Dec drift. All you do is let it go and then when finished, adjust the course alt and az controls to move the star within the lines when asked.

I'm in a hurry to go now - but would be glad to help more if required.

I saw ROUND stars for the first time on this mount thanks to WCS.

Ving has also used this software with a great measure of success.
