Description
This number relates to the TCS version and cannot be changed.
The non-sidereal rate, in arcseconds per second, is the rate added to or
subtraced from the sidereal tracking rate.
Although this rate can be configured manually, TheSkyX Professional
Edition can perform this automatically. See the Set Track Rates button
documentation for details how to do this.
When the Bisque TCS guiding lines are activated, the increase or
decrease in control system's position occurs at this rate.
