Sol'Ex Pro : First Light

I bought the new Sol'Ex Pro version and replaced the optics from my Sol'Ex version 1. This morning I installed the Sol'Ex via a Herschel wedge to my refractor TLAPO60/360.
The camera ASI290MM operated with SharpCap4. After my first scans I found out that scanning happened out of center. 
To found out what 's going on, I used the website of Jerome Bastardie : https://espace-infini.fr/en/accueil-english/

Via the implementation chapter https://espace-infini.fr/en/first-implementation/  I could link the problem to problem 7 ... tilt issue. I check my tilt with Inti and it was 57°. After correcting the tilt, the issue was gone. 


Setting:
Sol'Ex Pro version on TLAPO60/360 and Herschel Wedge
Camera : ASI290MM
Software : SharpCap 4, Inti, JSolex and CS4
