[sac-forum] Digital setting circle question

Howdy,
   Here's a question, maybe technical, about DSC's such as Sky Commander.  If I 
remember right, they mount on an alt/az Dob and calculate the position of 
objects in Altitude and Azimuth.  What happens when you put the alt/az mount on 
a platform?  Is the calculation still purely alt/az, or is the DSC informed 
somehow and adjusts the algorithm?  If I'm totally wet, let me know.

Thanks.
