NINA Manually

My computer is only connected to my camera. So, I have to pick the 3 points to use NINA's 3-point alignment. How do I choose points 2 and 3? Just go anywhere that is 10% in any direction?
Thanks.

In order to do an polar alignment with
NINA you would need to have the computer also connected to the telescope mount.
What mount do you have?

Gordon is correct. For NINA's 3 point polar alignment to work, NINA has to control the mount movement. I would ask the same question, what mount do you have?

I have a manual mount.
NINA in "Manual" mode seems to work fine, but I just need to know where to manually slew to for shots 2 and 3. Can u recall how your mount was changed to get subsequent points? Was it around 1 axis or does it seem variable?

I have never tried to do it manually and I can't remember the motion the mount took to do the platesolve.
My suggestion would be to contact Stefan Berg (the author) using the discord for
NINA.
