Site Setup

Current site: The current site. It can only be changed in the setup dialog.

Latitude: The Site Setting shows the latitude for the current site. The Mount Actual shows the latitude retrieved from the mount. Ideally they should be the same. If there is a difference then the Site Setting value will be highlighted (see example below).

Longitude: The Site Setting shows the longitude for the current site. The Mount Actual shows the longitude retrieved from the mount. Ideally they should be the same. If there is a difference then the Site Setting value will be highlighted (see example below).

An example of mismatched site/mount latitude and longitude:

Elevation: Elevation of this site in meters. This value is not used directly by the driver but can be passed back to a client application through an ASCOM property.

Refresh Mount Actual Lat/Long: clicking this button will retrieve the longitude and latitude from the mount. The Longitude/Latitude fields will be filled in (but not the elevation).

Copy Lat/Long to Current Site: This button is not shown in the above pictures, but became available starting with v5.10.01. When clicked it will conveniently copy the Latitude and Longitude values to the current Site and save the values.
