Syncless center (offset mode) doesn't seem to work for celestron

Well, yes, that's certainly part of it. But that would be rather useless by itself...

Step 1: Update offsets (delta) based on sync using Telescope Coords and Plate solve:

[10/13/2016 10:21:45 PM] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] Telescope: Sync behavior set to "OFFSET", offsets updated: 
[10/13/2016 10:21:45 PM] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] 		 RA:  0.000485322504670431 hours
[10/13/2016 10:21:45 PM] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] 		 Dec: 0.00956177913366218 degrees

Step 2: Apply offsets to slew location prior to sending to telescope:

[10/13/2016 10:21:45 PM] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] Telescope: Using "OFFSET" sync option, updating slew cooridnates with offsets:
[10/13/2016 10:21:45 PM] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] 		 RA:  1.34937421139356 hours
[10/13/2016 10:21:45 PM] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] 		 DEC: -70.8526604430886 degrees
[10/13/2016 10:21:45 PM] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] Telescope: Slewing to J2000 RA: 20.2406131709034 (20h14m26.21s) Dec: -70.8526604430886 (-70°51'09.58")
[10/13/2016 10:21:45 PM] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] Telescope: Slew received J2000 coordinates, mount requires JNOW, converting...
[10/13/2016 10:21:45 PM] [DEBUG] [Telescope Thread] Telescope: Slewing to JNOW RA: 20.2695464547823 Dec: -70.8033991166732

Also looks like the RA (RA: 1.34937421139356 hours) is getting double converted but is for display only.

It looks like everything is working as expected....

Thanks,
Jared
