Observing/imaging rundown checklist

[teleskopjo]

Hello,

I would like to use some software which would allow me to enter a series of RA/Dec coordinates in a list/database (not necessarily the standard Messier objects etc. or items from preset 40,000 object catalogues), and have my EQ3 Synscan mount slew to them one after the other..

Any ideas please..? Would Cartes du Ciel be able to do that?

Best wishes and thank you in advance.

Can't you just enter the objects in the 'User object' setting on the Synscan handset ... ?

This list would be sets of RA/Dec for say 20 objects to observe on several nights.. a bit tedious/error prone to enter all that data on the handset!

Ah.. I understand now.. if the handset would be able to permanently store the entered coordinates in this way, that would be really good as it'd avoid me using a laptop!
