Just to be pedantic
( cos its hot, and i can )

I just use #:GR# and #:GD# and HP mode.
This gets the position that is stored for the object

:GR and :GD dont return "the object", they ( are supposed ) to return where the scope is currently pointing, and can be affected by glitches.
:Gr and :Gd return the theoretical data for the last selected object
and are not affected by the glitches, but may not relate to current if the hbx slew keys or guiding has been used .
Meades code is a ratsnest in some places and is far more fragile than it should be, due to the way they share/use global variables.
IIRC, one user used to keep a running average of position and didnt declare it to be correct until he got 3 common reads for RA/DEC.
All good fun to watch for.
