Format for Lat/Long for refraction correction

I'm not sure that I understand the format for putting in lat and long for atmospheric refraction correction. Is it just Degrees / minutes and leave off the seconds? So for example 84.00W 39.00N instead of 39.000000 -84.000000 ? Also why does Geolocate put me out in the middle of the ocean?

Hi,
The Lat/Long is in decimal degrees - so 50 degrees 15 min east would be +50.25. To be honest, it doesn't matter as accuracy to the nearest degree of lat/long is fine for this.
Geolocate works from your IP address - there's a service
https://freegeoip.net that SharpCap uses for this and obviously it places your IP address in the ocean!
