SharpCap only works on a PC.? I have a Mac, what are my options for polar alignment?

Give up on polar scope, - just stick a camera in the finder scope and use SharpCap – way simple to use and accurate.

Tim, on a basic level Polar align. I center up Polaris right where all the lines converge in the polar scope.I Goto bright Star center it in the eyepiece using the hand controler, (do not touch the Alt Az knobs after polar align) Then I go to menu, hit align then alighnment and your off. You can do model building also two stars West one star East for better accuracy. The basic routine gets me close enough that my target will be in my eyepiece and I just center it up.

HAPPY SKIES Deric

I sold my CGEM which had a routine in the hand controller.? After a two star alignment you could goto a star then use the mount RA Dec adjustments to center it.? I was wondering if Gemini had something like that.? I think it’s called all sky align in the CGEM hand controller.? Thanks?
