Peter,
somehow, I don't quite get the point yet.
So I have a mounted telescope that is pointed at an object. The sidereal time corresponds to the star that is currently at its highest point in the sky.
To calculate the coordinates of a new celestial object with known right ascension and declination, all I have to do is find the difference between them, right?
So what does your SLEW command do, or what is the benefit of using it?
