A few quick adjustments, and I was under 1' (at the third point, images and solves are looping). The PA error was then displayed with instructions as to which direction to move the ALTITUDE and AZIMUTH. The mount then slewed to the third point, took an image and solved.
After the solve (1-2 seconds with ASTAP), the mount slewed to the second point, took an image, and solved.

uses existing plate solving software and settings). The mount slewed to the first point, took an image and solved (N.I.N.A. With the mount at the Home position, I clicked the play button. I tried resetting all of the settings to default and gradually working back to the previous settings that I had used with no luck.įor those of you familiar with N.I.N.A., it is nice that the PA plugin is now included within the Imaging tab. Only rarely would the image solve and allow completion of the PA process. Same issues with failed plate solving as the week before. Last night, I set up and ran Sharpcap PA. Polar alignment is pretty darn critical to a successful imaging session, so after doing some reading about N.I.N.A.'s new Three Point Polar Alignment plugin, I upgraded my existing Nightly 1.11 #053 to the latest Nightly 1.11 #123 where plugins are supported. Thinking that it might just have been atmospheric conditions that night, I set up last night (knowing that the clouds were on the way) just to see if I could get Sharpcap back on track. I have been using Sharpcap (just for PA) for a few years now and never had any issues. My last imaging session, I had issues with Sharpcap PA (solving). Well, it was a very limited experience since clouds moved in about an hour after dark. I just want to share my experience last night with the N.I.N.A. I know that I am late to the party, but better late than never!
