     * Alt/Az mounts, since it seems to be working, at least for the person
     * (@kecsap) who put it in there in the first place. :)
     *
     * The code prior to kecsap's recent fix would always send a position
     * reset command, but it would send Alt/Az coordinates, even to an EQ
     * mount. This would really screw up EQ mount alignment.
     *
     * The reason a lone Sync command appeared to not work before, is because
     * it will only accept a Sync command if the offset is relatively small,
     * within 6-7 degrees or so. So you must already have done an alignment
     * through the handset (a 1-star alignment would suffice), and only use
     * the Sync command to "touch-up" the alignment. You can't take a scope,
     * power it on, point it to a random place in the sky, do a plate-solve,
     * and sync. That won't work.
