Park my telescope
Question:
How to park my telescope in AudeLA ?
Answer: You need first to define what will be your azimuth (Az) and elevation (Elev) parking coordinates.
If you select the South meridian on horizon: AZ=0 et ELEV=0.
Then you have to convert your coordinate in equatorial (RA,DEC).
In Aud'ACE console:
set az 0 set elev 0 set home $::audace(posobs,observateur,gps) set date [mc_date2jd ::audace::date_sys2ut] set res [mc_altaz2radec $az $elev $home $date] set ra [lindex $res 0] set dec [lindex $res 1]
Then send those coordinates to the telescope and stop motors:
tel1 radec goto [list $ra $dec] -blocking 1 tel1 radec motor off
You can choose your coordinates az, elev based on your own mount and/or dome constraints.
