Pointing Status
Pointing Status displays the state of telescope pointing with respect to the current target position. (Note that it may take a few seconds for the Pointing Status message to update after the telescope appears to have completed a move. The delay occurs while POCO makes final, precise pointing adjustments.)
On Target is displayed when the telescope has arrived at the current target position after a "Move to Target" request, or when it has returned to the current target position after an offset.
Moving to Target is displayed whenever the telescope is moving to the current target position. This message will appear when the target is initially sought, or when the telescope is going to or returning from an offset to the current target position.
Offset from Target is displayed whenever an offset from the current target position is completed. This includes manual and automatic offsets and joystick motions.
Current Target Position

As soon as "Move to Target" is clicked, the "current target position" is set to the value of the coordinates currently entered in the RA and Dec entry boxes. It retains that value until new coordinates are entered and "Move to Target" is again clicked, even if the telescope is offset from that position. (Entering new coordinates will not change the value of the current target position until "Move to Target" is clicked".)

The "On Target" message is displayed whenever the telescope position equals the "current target position". If it differs because of an offset, the "Offset from Target" message is displayed. If the telescope is in the process of offsetting or moving to a new target the "Moving to Target" message is displayed until the move is completed. (You may also occasionally see the "Off Target" message displayed while POCO is moving the telescope.)

The value of the "current target position", independent of offsets or the state of the entry boxes, can always be seen by expanding the display as described in GUI Display Options.
