Dec. The values can be given one by one, or at once in a cataloged file. Desired object can be called with the correct number. When there are numerous targets, the latter is preferred. One can change the epoch later. For other moving objects like comets, the program also allows the telescope to point that object as long as the amount of daily RA and Dec movement of that object is given.
Accurate time is prerequisite in calculating the celestial position.
Thus, GPS receiver is attached to provide the accurate time to the control PC through the network 5. AGU has both central monitoring and tracking modes. Changing from the former to the latter takes a relatively longer period, so the former mode is not recommended during the observing run. It corrects the position every 10 seconds. Dome Telescope dome is a rectangular square structure.
