About autoguide for spectroscopy this great tutorial by Paolo Berardi is still valid:

It's now possible to save the calibration for two different setups:
Using the new script commands, here is a simple example to calculate the altitude of the sun and the moon:
Code: Select all
myLon = 12.4 ' Rome (positive if east)
myLat = 41.9
sub SunAlt()
ra,de = SunRaDec(jd)
az,al = EquatToAltaz(ra,de,myLon,myLat,jd)
return al
end sub
sub MoonAlt()
ra,de = MoonRaDec(jd)
az,al = EquatToAltaz(ra,de,myLon,myLat,jd)
return al
end sub
sAlt = SunAlt()
print "Sun Altitude = ", sAlt
mAlt = MoonAlt()
print "Moon Altitude = ", mAlt
