Perhaps I can simply adjust the RA rate?  |
Something else to try if you have the HW and SW capability.
Just guessing here, but I would assume that if you can connect your mount to a computer running a planetarium program such as SkyTools, Starry Night Pro or The Sky, then the tracking commands sent to the mount are likely to be accurate positional data based upon real time calculations?
They probably wouldn’t account for refraction, etc?
