What is the datum used for the simulator

Is it J2000, JNOW? It’s not noted and a few arc seconds makes all the difference.

Thanks

Everything in Telescopius is J2000. Hopefully later this year I’ll be releasing a Preferences panel to switch it to JNow, among other preferences.

Allowing JNOW as a preference setting will be wonderful. It will help immensely in getting ASIAIR to target objects not in its database.

The mosaic settings now lets you select JNow. It’s not a global setting for all the app, just the simulator, but I hope this helps until I make it app-wide! :slight_smile:

Thank you. I noticed this after submitting my commen. Yes, that will do as a workaround. All I need is to get the coords to use in ASIAIR preview mode for goto.
