CdC - Can I put in my own coordinates?

[swag72]

Is there a way I can put coordinates into CdC so that it will then go to that position? There are some targets that are not in the catalogues, but I have their RA and DEC cordinates.

Have searched the net and CdC but can't see how to do it, if at all.

If it's not possible in CdC, is there a way to do it via EQMOD?

Sara,

No, can't be done in CdC.....

In EQMOD Chris added for me the feature of doing this - right click on the "mount position" coordinates and a pop up screen will allow you to enter any position and then GOTO....

Hi Sara,

There was a similar discussion held recently in another thread here: http://stargazerslounge.com/discussions-software/166518-cdc-selecting-arbitrary-point-space.html

If I recall, the answer was no in CdC but yes in EQMOD.

Brilliant both - Many thanks.

I'll add my thanks for that I can use it to go to my terrestrial targets for testing in the daytime when the nights are useless. Much easier than using the game pad and finder scope as I have been doing.
