Stellarium and StellariumScope Setup

Hi all, just setting up these two programs from the instructions here:

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/63-581-0-0-1-0.html

Buyt a bit counfused by this line:

Quote:
Note:

StellariumScope latitude and longitude format is degrees and then minutes to one decimal place.
Stellarium latitude and longitude format is degrees, minutes and seconds to two decimal places.
So, if your Latitude is 34 degrees 51 minutes 26.70 seconds then this becomes 34 degrees, (23 +26.70/60) = (23+0.4)=23.4 minutes or 34 degrees 23.4 minutes.
Should the last sentence of that not read:

So, if your Latitude is 34 degrees 51 minutes 26.70 seconds then this becomes 34 degrees, (51 +26.70/60) = (51+0.4)=51.4 minutes or 34 degrees 51.4 minutes.

Thanks.

Yes... that is correct

Latitude 34 degrees 51 minutes 26.70 seconds then becomes 34 degrees, (51 +26.70/60) = (51+0.4)=51.4 minutes or 34 degrees 51.4 minutes.
