Well, I've tried to change the code.
In scope.c::sc_goto() I've easily been able to change the equinox of the position send to Indi for the Goto.
Now whatever equinox is used in XEphem, I send EOD coordinates as required by the Indi telescope property. Great !
The other thing I had to do was to convert the received EOD coordinates? from the Indi telescope property used to display the
telescope position in Skyview. I've tried to modified the code in scope.c::marker_tcb() but failed to get it work correctly.
In Skyview, I always get the scope mark at a wrong position :
- if XEphem is using J2000, the scope mark is at EOD position of the target star
- if XEphem is using EOD, the scope mark is at J2000 position of the target star
and whatever modification I make, I can't never get scope mark in the same equinox of target star...
I'm certainly misunderstanding something....
Attached is a screenshot where XEphem is in J2000, the 68 center star is the target star and the scope mark is at EOD of target star...
