Entering Lat and Long on EQ5 goto mount

Hi guys

when entering your Latitude and Longitude on the Synscan handset, you enter the degrees and minutes. It does not ask for the seconds.

My question is should I enter the minutes figure as for example 30.5 when my latitude for this element is 30 mins 30 seconds?

Hi Graham

On my synscan I dont compensate for seconds, I use the user object facility when bagging doubles. I usually have a lower mag eyepiece in tge scope so the difference wont have so much effect.
