Phil60,

 

The SGPro coordinates in your screenshot are J2000. This is different from the mount’s coordinate system, which is local apparent, which some people call JNow. This is not a problem but if you are interested you can find more details if you do a web search for “J2000 vs JNow”.

Hello again

In SGP, once I have  unparked the mount ,the Current telescope's position displayed from the Software does not match  the reading of RA/DEC from the ASCOM driver, especially in Longitude?  Is it normal behavior ?
Does it affect the pointing accuracy of the mount or should I take an image, run a plate solving and resync the mount to get the exact coordinates?  

Thank you in advance for your advices
