NEO Planner V5.0 - No Go Areas - Explanations

These settings are the fourth step in getting NEO Planner up and running.
Here you define the NO GO Area of Neo Planner.
The no-go area defines a declination range
that should be given special attention during observation.
German mounts in particular cannot easily pan across the meridian during a night
session, but can hit the pillar or other mount parts while panning.
Here you can specify from which northern or
southern declination a warning should be shown in the planning
if the object crosses the meridian during observation.
This note enables the planning to be adjusted accordingly, which is explained in
detail in the
explanations of Revise.
Plausibility checks or actions are usually only carried out after leaving the cursor in the input field.

Buffer time in R.A. Hours before the meridian transit, so that
there is enough time to photograph the object before the meridian transit.
When displaying the transit time in the
Revise Window, this hourly
value is subtracted from the transit time of the object.
