| The illustration shows the default form of the position display, and
the one most commonly used by observers. Precession, refraction, pointing model, and other
corrections are automatically applied, but the telescope position is expressed in terms
of the epoch in which the target coordinates were entered. Thus, when a target is reached,
the telescope position will equal the entered coordinates (until new coordinates are entered
or the telescope is offset), leaving corrections invisible to the observer.
Coordinates at other levels of POCO logic do reveal corrections. These can be displayed
by expanding the GUI. For the gory details, refer to the descriptions under
GUI options.
