NAME

OFFSGP - Issue an offset step to the guide probe in RA and declination,
without stopping guiding

SYNOPSIS


    OFFSGP offsetAlpha,offsetDelta

DESCRIPTION


    offsetAlpha: RA offset in arcseconds (-1800.0, +1800.0)
    offsetDelta: declination offset in arcseconds (-1800.0, +1800.0)


    This command is typically used for "secondary guiding", i.e. to
    correct for slow motions due to instrument flexure or similar. The command
    is given when the telescope is tracking and guiding, and to allow guiding to
    continue un-disturbed, the requested offset steps should be small, less than
    a few arcseconds (depending on actual size of the guiding box).
    Offsets work incremental. They are forgotten when new coordinates are
    issued.
