ADC set up

How to set up an ADC or Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector? Currently I'm using my ADC only for planet astrophotography and have experience with Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
When using my TAL200K, the ADC connected to my camera (ASI224MC) and screwed after the barlow and eyepiece holder of 1.25"- see picture below.

During operation I'm adjusting the ADC visualy but recently I was told that adjustment can be done using FireCapture, SharpCap aswell as ASICap (ASIStudio). This will be tested next time when I'm out for a planet astrophotography session.
