ITelescopeV3SlewToCoordinates Method

Move the telescope to the given equatorial coordinates, return when slew is complete It does not return to the caller until the slew is complete.

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

Parameters

RightAscension  Double
The destination right ascension (hours). Copied to TargetRightAscension.
Declination  Double
The destination declination (degrees, positive North). Copied to TargetDeclination.
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
MethodNotImplementedExceptionIf the method is not implemented and CanSlew 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 Method must be implemented if CanSlew returns True. Raises an error if the slew fails. The slew may fail if the target coordinates are beyond limits imposed within the driver component. Such limits include mechanical constraints imposed by the mount or attached instruments, building or dome enclosure restrictions, etc. The target coordinates are copied to TargetRightAscension and TargetDeclination whether or not the slew succeeds.

Raises an error if AtPark is True, or if Tracking is False.
