 +If you have a target that you want to change the coordinates (either because the first ones was erroneous or because it is an object like a satellite that requires constant changing and you don't know how to give it the orbital parameters for automatic tracking), then you can access the psql database directly.
 +
 +    $ sudo psql stars
 +
 +    stars=# UPDATE targets
 +     SET tar_ra = 157.246241,  tar_dec = 15.760332
 +     WHERE tar_id = 1205;
 +    
 +(of course changing the coordinates and target_id as necessary).
 +
 +
 +However it is much easier to do it using JSON using the update_target command:
