Hi Chris, next question from beginner: Is it true, that NOT CdC - or any other PC-Astro-Program - will always calculate Altitude and Azimut but this is task of the scope's controller itself. That was the intention of my first question - as we build the scopes controller ourselves we would like not to calculate here - but would like to get these data from PC, which has more calculation power and more accuracy.
