Util.AddPointingObservation() Method

Update the ACP internal pointing corrector with a new observation

Syntax

Util.AddPointingObservation(RawRightAscension, RawDeclination, IdealRightAscension, IdealDeclination, GEMWestOfPier, [Sidereal Time])

The method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
RawRightAscension (Double) the raw (uncorrected) right ascension (hours)
RawDeclination (Double) the raw (uncorrected) declination (degrees)
IdealRightAscension (Double) the corrected (ideal) right ascension (hours)
IdealDeclination (Double) the corrected (ideal) declination (degrees)
GEMWestOfPier (Boolean) True if the mount is German equatorial and was east of the pier (looking west) at the time of the observation
Sidereal Time (Double) the local apparent sidereal time of the observation (hours, default = current LAST)
Return (Boolean) True if the observation was actually used

Remarks

You can get the current local apparent sidereal time from Util.NowLST(). You can determine whether the mount is German equatorial (GEM) and east of the pier (looking west) from the Util.GEMWestOfPier property.
