coordinates input

Tried multiple ways of inputting coordinates. No matter how I did it it would not work.
Tried to use the instructions in SharpCap to do it and yet it failed.
How would one type this in to get the goto working with coordinates?
Exactly how is this to be typed in?

Examples
RA center: 20h16m01s.66
DEC center: +43°42′54″.1

Or as below how some objects are listed on a Wikipedia search
Right ascension 19h 41m 18.0s
Declination +40° 11′ 12″

Hi,

the first one may be an issue, because SharpCap will not expect the 's' for second before the decimal point, however this will work

Code: Select all

20h16m01.66s +43°42′54.1"
The second example will work as-is, but the line break needs to be removed

Code: Select all

Right ascension 19h 41m 18.0s Declination +40° 11′ 12″
It will also work without the words

Code: Select all

19h 41m 18.0s  +40° 11′ 12″
cheers,

Robin
