Hi David - I'm glad that I got it right at least once in a row <grin>. BTW
I made a spelling error in the OLE interface for the clock so a new version
is available that fixes it if you need it.
When the conversion switch is to the right the clock is calculating the star
Az/ El at the DEC/RA entered. When the switch is the other way its
calculating the DEC/RA that is being pointed at by the fixed AZ/El. Sounds
like you need to throw the switch (stop the clock first).
One cross is where you antenna is pointing (set up on the Antenna Parameters
form) the other is the star you are point at. On my system I pick up the
current stare /El from the OLE server (StarAz and StarEl) then command my
antenna to move to that point. As its moving I send to the OLE server the
current antenna position (AntennaAz and AntennaEl) and watch as the antenna
bug hunts for the star bug and finally lands on it. I love it...
