Namespace: ASCOM.DeviceInterface
Assembly: ASCOM.DeviceInterfaces (in ASCOM.DeviceInterfaces.dll) Version: 6.0.0.0 (6.6.9999.9999)
Syntax
Copy
void SyncToCoordinates(
	double RightAscension,
	double Declination
)

Parameters

RightAscension  Double
The corrected right ascension (hours). Copied to the TargetRightAscension property.
Declination  Double
The corrected declination (degrees, positive North). Copied to the TargetDeclination property.
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
MethodNotImplementedExceptionIf the method is not implemented and CanSync is False
ParkedExceptionIf the telescope is parked
InvalidValueExceptionIf an invalid right ascension or declination is given.
NotConnectedExceptionIf the device is not connected
DriverExceptionAn error occurred that is not described by one of the more specific ASCOM exceptions. Include sufficient detail in the message text to enable the issue to be accurately diagnosed by someone other than yourself.
Remarks
This must be implemented if the CanSync property is True. Raises an error if matching fails. Raises an error if AtPark AtPark is True, or if Tracking is False. The way that Sync is implemented is mount dependent and it should only be relied on to improve pointing for positions close to the position at which the sync is done.
