Greetings!
I am confused about how to set the Meridian Delay in APCC in tandem with Sequence Generator Pro. I see in the latest version of APCC on the Meridian tab that there is a "Send Limit to SGPro" checkbox. I have turned this on and then made changes to the Meridian Delay. The results seem to be doing the opposite of what I expect. I'd appreciate clarification on how to set the Meridian Delay from APCC to be recognized and used by SGP.
Here's an example of what I am seeing:
At present my scope is pointed at Deneb, which is E of the meridian. There is no Meridian Delay (0) in APCC. SGP reports that it will do a meridian flip in 3 hr 15 min when Deneb reaches the Meridian. When I set the APCC Meridian Delay to +1.00 hr, I expect the meridian flip to occur an hour earlier. Indeed the yellow line in the Telescope Position diagram in APCC shows it is shifted 1 hr E, and any slews I make between that line and the meridian will be CW up as desired. However, I note that SGP now reports the time until flip is an hour later at 4 hr 15 min. This seems backwards to me. Do I have this right?
I just attempted to set the delay to one hour later (now shifted W), and SGP still adds an hour to the flip, whether I set the Meridian to + or -1 hr.
Thanks for your help with this.
Best Regards,
Ben
