Telescope simolator slew speed

Post by Forum_2018 »

Hi,
I wonder if it possible to increase Telescope Simulator slew speed getting faster simulation sessions?

The ASCOM telescope simulator allows you to adj. the slew speed, just use that instead.

For manual sessions, you could press "Sync" while the telescope simulator is moving, to go instantly to the coordinates.
For script sessions you could replace Telescope.Goto with the following function:

Code: Select all

sub Telescope_Goto(ra,de)
  Telescope.Goto(ra,de)
  Pause(2)
  Telescope.SyncTo(ra,de)
end sub
or just add the SyncTo command to your code.

Fabio,
your suggestion is perfect for me and can be used even on the Linux+WINE PC I currently use for script development. Thanks.
