Next: ASCII source files Up: Getting started Previous: Getting started . The essential data needed for program stars are names, positions, and the equinox to which the positions are referred. ... The command MAKE/STARTABLE helps you create a table of program stars. Some telescopes record the position toward which the control system thinks the telescope is pointing as part of the data stream, so it is tempting to extract these data to make a positional catalog for the program stars. ...
