Summary

Sync the mount to specified celestial coordinates or perform a plate-solve sync by omitting coordinates.

Inputs

  • Right Ascension (Sync) — Decimal degrees right ascension to sync the mount to. If omitted or both RA and Dec are zero, the mount performs a plate-solve syncing operation.
  • Declination (Sync) — Decimal degrees declination to sync the mount to. If omitted or both RA and Dec are zero, the mount performs a plate-solve syncing operation.

Output shape

The operation returns the JSON response from the mount sync HTTP request as an array of objects, containing status or error information from the mount.

If coordinates (RA and Dec) are both zero or omitted, the node triggers a plate-solve sync on the mount. Otherwise, it syncs to the provided coordinates. Errors are returned in the output if the request fails and 'continueOnFail' is enabled.

Examples

Example 1: Sync mount to specified right ascension and declination.

Provide valid RA and Dec numeric values as inputs.

Example 2: Perform plate-solve sync by omitting coordinate inputs or setting both to zero.

Leave RA and Dec empty or zero.
