Re: ATM Setting Circles.




Setting circles for a Dob is something that needs some conversion
calculations as you are taking the azimuth and altitude (az/alt) of the Dob
to the Right Ascension and Declination (RA/DEC) so that you can track the
sky.  This is the computations that are done by the Digital Setting Circles
(DSC) as you move the scope about and time goes by.
