SharpCap Forums

Hi,
I pretty new to scripting, but I'm trying to find a way to control the Mount positions (in RA & Dec). The ultimate aim is to write a script that will dither between frames - without the added complexity of PHD2.
I can see I can move the mount with the SlewTo() fn
Ie SharpCap.Mounts.SelectedMount.SlewTo(ra,dec)
but I'd really just like to be able to move a tiny amount in either RA or Dec or both. Is that possible?
The information in the manual on controls except the camera is minimal. Is there any documentation of the controls available to the Mount?
I have been exploring the options in the Python Console, but as I said, I'm pretty new to this.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

you would want to use the
And
methods to achieve the result you want. I think that stop should put you back into the same tracking mode that you were before you called move axis. I believe the rate parameter for move axis is in multiples of sidereal rate, and you use a negative value to move in the opposite direction.

Hope this helps, Robin

Thanks Robin. I'll give that a go.
