+ | They are two algorithms worth mentioning. First is how OFFSets are handled, so telescope offseting do not cause observatory to move telescope during exposures. Second, similar algorithm is used for applying corrections (wcorr and CORR_ variables). | ||
If you are interested to see how the code works, please see startResync() documentation for functions available to retrieve various coordinates. startResync is the routine which is called each time coordinates written as target should be matched to physical telescope coordinates. Using various methods in the class, driver can get various coordinates which will be put to telescope.
