The vertex software has encoder corrections that can be interactively modified via the ocu or lcu interface. ... When adding a correction, the display position includes the correction. Preset mode works fine with the correction (eg. start at 270, add correction=1deg, display reads 271, preset to 270 moves the telescope be 1 degree). I think that program track mode works differently with the offsets.. mainly because we had an offset of 1 degree for 5 months and we could still see sources. ...

... With enough velocity, a spacecraft can break loose from the Earth's gravity and enter an orbit around the Sun, like that of a planet. If it then orbits the Sun with the same period as the Earth--one year--it may keep a fixed position relative to Earth. ... If the distance is just right--about 4 times the distance to the Moon or 1/100 the distance to the Sun--the spacecraft, too, will need just one year to go around the Sun, and will keep its position between the Sun and the Earth. ...
