CrossHair - Utility to make easier pointing telescope using digital viewfinders

Digital viewfinders are great, but many camera applications lack the crosshair.

And even when available, it's fixed, centered.
And many times the center of viewfinder screen does not point precisely to the center of eyepiece or main camera....
So, we have to adjust mechanically the viewfinder position.

This CrossHair utility solves both problems:
Simply open the viewfinder window, start CrossHair, and position it over the viewfinder screen.

When you "alt-tab" into another window, the crosshair disappears.
Returning to viewfinder window, the crosshair becomes visible again.
If not, simply alt-tab into CrossHair, and it "learn" to follow the viewfinder window.
Minimizing CrossHair, means "do not disturb", and You can use viewfinder interface without interference of CrossHair.
Closing CrossHair, it memorizes the size and position, for the next time.

Also, You can create an optional image overlay file, replacing the red crosshair. There is an example in the zip files.

And have a lot fun!
