Alignment without a primary imaging camera

Hello,

I own a HEQ5 Pro and sold my hand controller due using Stellarmate. Everything worked with my old Pentax K70 (platesolving etc.).

But now i sold my K70 and bought a K3 II. With the K3 II i am not able to take any photo using Stellarmate.

Is there a way to do a star alignment without platesolving in the way the 3 star alignment worked with the hand controller using the Live View of the K3 II. ( I sure can use plate solving etc. with my guiding cam, but it is sometimes to way off with small targets).

I only miss dithering... so i need dark frames. But that's okay.

The DSLR is triggered the classic way using a external remote ;)

My setup:

1. HEQ5 Pro
2. Pentax K3 II
3. ZWO ASI 120MM guiding camera (150mm fl)
4. Skywatcher PDS 750/150
5. Stellarmate (RPi 4 4GB)

Next step is buying a used Canon Da, i think they work best with Stellarmate. But not now.

Greetings,

Ralph
