Hello Jasem,

Are the streaming properties available via the Stellarmate Android app?

I set up my mount for every session, and its polar alignment routine requires me to see live view through the OTA while standing at the scope. Currently I use a Canon DSLR and can view the image on the back of the camera. But I am considering purchasing a dedicated astro camera that does not offer this. It is a very expensive purchase, so I am trying to make sure I will be able to see the live image for polar alignment.

I did some testing with my current DSLR and the app, and can get a sufficient frame rate. However, I do not know whether this will be true for the new camera without adjusting the streaming properties.

If I cannot use the app, I guess my solution may be to carry my laptop out there for the alignment.

In either case, it would be extremely helpful to be able to superimpose a crosshair at image center over the live view. Is that possible?

Thank you,
John
