Remarks
Supported rates (one of the
DriveRates values) are contained within the
TrackingRates collection.
Values assigned to TrackingRate must be one of these supported rates.
If an unsupported value is assigned to this property, it will raise an error.
The currently selected tracking rate be further adjusted via the
RightAscensionRate
and
DeclinationRate properties. These rate offsets are applied to the currently
selected tracking rate. Mounts must start up with a known or default tracking rate,
and this property must return that known/default tracking rate until changed.
If the mount's current tracking rate cannot be determined (for example,
it is a write-only property of the mount's protocol),
it is permitted for the driver to force and report a default rate on connect.
In this case, the preferred default is Sidereal rate.
This is only available for telescope InterfaceVersions 2 and later.
