Information about Transfert Fonction

[Mat R]

Hello everyone,

I am a French student working on a project about the Heq5Pro equatorial mount. I use the software to track celestial objects and need to understand its operation in detail to clearly explain my scientific approach to the examiners. I would like to ask a few questions:

How does the software convert a target star’s spherical coordinates into an approximate x,y position?

Specifically, does it use a transformation matrix (and which one), or another method?

How can the software be modeled as a controller in the context of control theory (LTI systems)?

I aim to represent the software as a controller acting on the mount’s transfer function, linking directly to our LTI systems coursework.

Thank you very much for your time and help. I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Rouvroy Mathieu
