Is anything as good as sharpcap for polar alignment?

I only use sharpcap for the polar alignment feature (which I like a lot) but I prefer Firecap for planetary stuff.



Sharpcap is more intuitive than my polemaster and it uses the camera you will be imaging with so it's not possible for there to be a misalignment between camera and mount. But it seems to be overkill to pay a license fee each year for polar alignment.


Does anything else do it quite as well? Something you can actually own, rather than license every year?


Cheers
