Is there a way to bump a G11 in RA or DEC by a chosen offset let's say I want to move 30' N from my current pointing position. Whether it is throught the GCC or the hand paddle. I know you can type an explicit RA/DEC absolute position but is there an easy way do a relative jump?

I can do it with the Gemini control program I wrote but as it is written in Qbasic I imagine it is to "passe" for most.

Cool - Is it in the D.Groelich's doc? Got a page number in the latest PDF? I'll do some reading. I found the absolute address but nothing about adding or subtracting X' or X" from known coordinates. I must be missing something real simple (stupid).
No
Nothing as exotic as that.
I used the arrow keys to send a goto to the telescope with the selected increment.
I am going to use a similar idea to control the HEQ5 synscan slewing with the arrow keys. Its only useful control functions available are read the coords, goto coords, slew speed and read the version
