The Az/Alt Bookmarks window allows you to save Az/Alt positions in the sky to come back to at another time.

Az
Alt

The Azimuth and Altitude values of the bookmark. You can either enter this manually or, if you click Get Alt/Az from Mount, they will be filled in with the mount's current Az/Alt values.

Also, if you click an entry in the table at the bottom of the window the Az/Alt and description fields will be filled in.

Description

An optional description for the bookmark.

Get Alt/Az from Mount

Clicking this will fill in the Az and Alt fields with the current pointing location from the mount.

Goto

Clicking this button will slew the scope to the Az/Alt coordinates.

Convert GOTOs from Alt/Az to RA/Dec

Converts the Alt/Az to an RA/Dec value for slewing. Used in some testing but not required any more. This option will probably be removed in a future release.

Save

Clicking this will save any changes you have made to Az/Alt/Description.

Add

Clicking this will add a new entry to the bookmarks table.

Delete

Clicking this will delete the selected entry from the bookmarks table.

Refresh

Reads the list from the database again. The Alt/Az bookmarks are shared with APCC so if you create a bookmark in APCC and switch to this window in the driver you may need to click this button.

Table

Click a row to select it. The Az, Alt and Description fields will be filled in with the values from the selected row of the table.

You can then edit the Az/Alt/Description fields and click Save to save the changes.

To go to a bookmark select the row and click Goto.
