Synscan longitude help

[Moki]

I have recently up graded my EQ5 sky watcher mounts with a synscan Goto.

But I am having difficulties with longitude and latitude.

my longitude is 52.6707 N

and latitude is 0.7266W

Any help would be much appreciated

Enter these number in this order and format 000 44 W, 52 40 N. The handset requires the coordinates in proper mapping units (degrees, minutes) not decimal format.

You have longitude and latitude mixed up.
Your latitude is 52.6707 N
Your longitude is 0.7266 W

As Peter says.

Excellent thank you for your fast reply

If you have an android phone you can also check your coordinates and elevation using Synscaninit.

I came on here to ask exactly the same question! Could someone confirm what I should be putting into my SynScan handset please?

Latitude 55.900634

Longitude -3.167610

Thanks.

+1 for this. It will also give your elevation, the DST setting, and  the date in the US format, which saves you making any mistakes in the middle of the night. (also useful if you take your setup to another site, like a star party)

Thank you.

That's a great wee app, thanks for that.
