Can I slew telescope to RA/DEC coord from SynScan handset?

[pipnina]

It's very convenient that the handset can slew to catalogued targets automatically, but for a lot of pictures I'm trying to frame two objects at once. Is it possible to dial in a specific set of RA/DEC coordinates straight into the SynScan handset so I can reach the same location repeatably? I know people do it with the computers but I can't plug mine in (no adaptor)...

I can't find anything in the menus of my HEQ5-PRO to do this with... Help!

In the Synscan V4 Manual have a look at Section 5.8 User defined objects.

Yes, in the handset where you get a menu for choosing named star, scroll down with the arrows until you get to User objects, then enter the co-ordinates.

Excellent! Thanks! I don't know what happened to my manual since the kitchen redo in January moved just about everything else in the house too ha.

Thanks again and hope you're all well.

Damn!!!....I never thought of this!! I’ve been slewing around blindly looking for double ✨ not in the database when I could have used this function......what’s worse, I knew about it but didn’t think of it!!   😫😫😫

Here's a copy of the manual for reference.

Keep well
