crossing the meridian

Brian May 8, 2001

Hi all,

Can anyone advise on a basic telescope control problem I have. Using a
german mount with encoders I set the first two alignment stars on one side
of the meridian. This makes moving the telescope by hand update the
display on guide correctly on either side of the meridian. If I now set an
alignment star on the other side of the meridian guide updates the
declination in the wrong direction.

Unfortunately I need rather more than two alignment stars for my mounting.

Many thanks,

Brian Boggenpoel.
