    Going to a specific RA/Dec with AutoStarSuite

    I have a certain RA and Dec I want to go to using AutoStarSuite, but I don't want to have to find it with the mouse. I want an option by which I can just enter in a (rather precise) RA and Dec and have AutoStarSuite move my telescope to it. I have not been able to figure out how to do this in AutoStarSuite. We have been able to add objects using the hand controller, but the problem is that is 1) not accurate enough (can't go beyond 1 second accuracy), and 2) it takes longer to do. 1) is the real issue here. Can anyone help me understand how to do this? Pointing me at the exact menu path would be optimal, but any help appreciated.

    Thanks,

    SR
