Property
CCDCamera.GuiderDeclination (Double)
Syntax
CCDCamera.GuiderDeclination
Remarks
Sets the declination in degrees. The valid range is +90 to -90. This is used to adjust the calibration of the autoguider to compensate for different declinations without recalibrating. To use, set to the current declination before calibrating. Once calibration is complete, set to the current declination before starting autoguider tracking.
The value should be left as zero (0) if declination compensation is not to be used. This property also returns the current value.
To avoid instability near the poles, the declination correction is effectively limited to 80 degrees.
