Storing target coordinates ?

[BlueAstra]

I use MaximDL and EQMOD to control my EQ6. I use Maxim/EQMOD to goto a target, but then generally have to move about a little bit to frame the object, or move to the required part of a large object. Is there a way of storing the coordinates that you utimately end up at so that you can return to the exact position later? I would probably then up up with a list of preferred target coordinates.

I *thought* you could right click on the coordinates in the EQMOD window, then you have an option of saving them from there. I say thought as when I tried it, it didn't work, but I expect I pressed a wrong button or something!

If you use EQTour, you could store the exact location that your software believes the mount to be aligned with and that is pretty good. I often use this for visiting a set of pre-chosen objects in conjunction with Cartes du Ciel.

Use Maxim's plate solving on the object (with EQMOD set to nearest point) to make sure the mount knows exactly where it is. You'll tend to get things bang in the middle then.

Use EQTour to store coordinates.
