Basic sync question

Pretty basic question this.

 

I tend to sync from Autoslew but TheSkyX (and most other software that connects to the telescope via ASCOM) obviously also has a sync function.

 

Am I correct that it doesn’t matter in which application I do the sync? In other words, if I have TheSkyX (and possibly multiple other packages via an ASCOM hub) all connected to Autoslew then doing a sync in one of them automatically causes them all to sync?

Hi Nigel,

 

in theory you are correct. What I recognized was that there si always a small amount difference when syncing with sequence and e.x. MaximDl which not be can described with year now/ y2000 problematic.

e.x. when i sync in maximdl with plate solve a frame and after that without moving the telescope do the same in sequence, sequence shows me a little offset. 

 

But to your question normally it doesn't matter in which software the sync will be made.
