The next label, “SITE POSITION” will pop up the set of commands to introduce the
observation site coordinates and to show their values. The commands are self explanatory.
Other commands allows to get the site position from the tablet or smartphone internal GPS,
if any and to send the acquired coordinates to the StarGO if active.
Note: When using the Sky Safari application, it is necessary that both applications
(StarGO-BT and Sky Safari) have identical geographic coordinates or unpredictable
mount behaviours could ensue. The correct configuration is automatically attained in
both applications when the Android device’s internal GPS is used to obtain Latitude
and Longitude. If, for any reason, custom values for coordinates are used in either of
the two applications, exactly the same values must be manually inserted in the other
application.
The last label, “ALIGNMENT,” enables the actual Local Standard Time (LST) value to be
read and the syncing to Home Position to be reached. The “Sync Home Position” button
allows the mount to synchronize with the home position, as done with the PC StarGO
software (see section 4.1.1, Page 19).
