Description

Shows the current encoder position for both axes. For each axis, the
current encoder value changes when mount is tracking; it remains fixed
when not tracking.

below the sidereal rate).
When the mount is tracking at the sidereal rate, values for both RA and
Dec are zero. If either rate is non-zero, the mount is tracking at a non-
sidereal rate.
See the Set Track Rates command in TheSkyX Professional Edition User
Guide details about setting tracking rates.
