ASCOM question(s).

[OzMaz (John)]

Hi Folks,

Experimenting using ASCOM via VB.NET and have a few questions.

Assume oTelescope is the ASCOM.Telescope object.

The oTelescope.Declination and oTelescope.RightAscension methods give a value that do not quite match what is displayed on the SYNSCAN hand controller.

The declination is close, but the right ascension is wildly out.

I was of the opinion that using the following:

oTelescope.SlewToCoordinates(oTeles cope.RightAscension, oTelescope.Declination)

would result in very little movement of the mount as I'm basically asking the mount to move to its current position.

This is true with the declination, but not so with right ascension.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
