Hi Noel,

Thanks again for the post.

For example, the AN will guide me to say, Saturn, which SkyVoyager will show me pointing to, but in reality I am nowhere near Saturn in the sky.

When you mention the "location jumps" do you mean the Argo Navis GUIDE
display for the object?
For example, the display showed you needed to guide 153 degrees in Az and
then when you performed the connection, it instantaneously changed to 206
degrees in Az.

OR ...

Question: do you mean your observing latitude and longitude was changed
by the planetarium program when you performed the connect?
For example, you dialed up SETUP LOCATION and the latitude and longitude
had changed. If so, what is your actual lat/long location and what did the
planetarium program set them to?
By way of background, there is a command in the Meade protocol that allows
a planetarium program to set the longitude and another to set the latitude.
These values are set into your current default location in Argo Navis and the
system will invalidate any alignment. However, they are not saved into non-volatile
memory. Not many programs use this but perhaps SkyVoyager does.
