NAME


    PRSCOOR - Preset telescope to sky coordinates

 

SYNOPSIS


    PRSCOOR alpha,delta,epochSystem,epoch,equinox,pma,pmd,radvel,parallax,
            coordinateType,wavelength,offsetAlpha,offsetDelta

 

DESCRIPTION


    This command immediately presets the telescope to the given position
    sky position and execute a complete preset sequence to start tracking.
    for Auto Guiding, Active Optics and other auxiliary systems behaves
    following the instructions in the current setup file.

    It returns when preset is completed or with an error msg.

    alpha: right ascension of the sky object in hhmmss.ffff (0-240000)
           no correction of cos delta to be applied!
    delta: declination of the sky object in ddmmss.ffff
           (-900000 - +900000 deg)
    epochSystem: J for Julian or B for Besselian
    epoch: years (-2000.0 - 3000.0)
    equinox: years (-2000.0 - 3000.0)
    pma:   proper motion in alpha (arcseconds per year)
    pmd:   proper motion in delta (arcseconds per year)
    radvel: radial velocity (km/s)
    parallax: (arcseconds)
    coordinateType: A for Apparent Places, M for Mean Places
    wavelength: (nanometers)
    offsetAlpha: Offset from the given coordinate (arcseconds)
    offsetDelta: Offset from the given coordinate (arcseconds)
    offsetRot:   Rotator offset in degrees (-360.0 - 360.0)

    If trailing parameters are omitted, they are defaulted with values
    taken from the CDT.
