EQmod gps question

[blinky]

Hi,

 

if if I click the gps button in eqmod and pick up coords then click accept is that all I need to do? Do I also then, once the gas screen closes, click set on the main eqmod screen?

As long as its populated the Site Information (Latitude\Longitude\Elevation) just click on Set & your done. To save the info click on the 'floppy disk' button & give it a meaningful name....

Hmmm  that's what I thought but the last few times I got a gps location (and I co firmee the time and date and location were accurate) when I clicked accept then did a goto it went way,miles off target.

Have you also added the site settings into your planetarium software for location (CDC\Stellarium) ??  Also have you adjusted the PC's clock to match the GPS time ?

I use sgpro so I'm not using a planetarium software for goto, I select a target in Sgpro.  I thought when you clicked set it sorted the pc clock? Anyway the pc clock is pretty much accurate,maybe put by a few seconds but not enough to throw it this far off. Will have a double check next time I'm out and see if I can see anything else

Do you have any alignment/sync points configured ? 

Personally I don't use them, as I use PlateSolve2 to centre\re-centre the target, and was finding that the alignment points were throwing things off.

No I deleted then all and do the same as you
