I am slowly learning how to use this marvelous software. I've managed to figure out how to correctly use most of the modules but the Alignment module is still giving me problems. I am using a Meade LX90 8" scope with a .66 reducer and a Meade DSI 2 pro camera for guiding and do my main imaging right now using a Atik 314L mono camera with a WO 66 scope.
In the alignment module I can arrive at solutions with the Meade DSI2 and the LX90 w/ reducer. This combination results in a small fov which often results in not arriving at a solution. I have tried using the Atik but that does not work right as I can't seem to find a way to get the program to recognize that I am using the Atik with the WO66, so it applies the 1320 mm FL of the LX90 reducer combo instead of the 388 mm fl of the WO66.
So the question is can someone tell me how to do this? I have tried setting up the program as shown on the attached screen saves but this does not work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jon

The tool tip was clear and I did have the box checked as you suggest. But what I did not do was make sure the information under the control box tab was the same telescope and guider information shown under the telescope tab. I mistakenly thought that entering the information on the control box would transfer the same information to the appropriate boxes under the telescope tab. Apparently during my initial set-up I had entered the information wrong under the telescope tab..... After seeing the effect with the OAG checked and unchecked (no difference) I did some more checking and found that the guider information under the telescope tab was incorrect. I corrected my error and everything worked as it should. Thanks for the help. And thanks for making this program available for use. Its great!
