The telescope coordinate values (RA, DEC, AZ and ALT) are also retrieved from the StarGO2
after the connection. Even the Park and Tracking will become active after the telescope has
been connected.
5. To perform the connection, it is sufficient to click on the Connect button. After the
connection, if the telescope is parked the Park button will show red and the telescope
cannot be moved. Clicking on it will unpark the mount and the button will turn green and
the label will become Unparked. Otherwise the mount will appear already unparked. This
button can be used to park / Unpark the telescope as needed during operations. The same
is applicable to the Tracking button. It is red if the telescope is tracking the sky or green if it
is tracking. Pressing the button will stop or start the tracking.
6. Once connected the Goto operations may be performed in two manners: the first consists
on clicking with the right mouse button on the celestial object we want to point to and
then choosing, under the Telescope menu the Slew to.... function. The telescope will move
to the object. The second way is by using the dome icons placed on the right of the tool bar
as described in Figure 3.16 of section 3.2. In addition, the other two operating systems
(Window and Linux) have the small cross keys in the ASCOM telescope Interface panel to
move the telescope (See Figures 3.25a, b, c).
