Does SkySafari 6 Pro (iPhone app and iOS mac version) allow you to manually enter RA and DEC without being connected to a telescope?

I need to plan my observations ahead of time and need to know if my targets are visible from my location ahead of time. I need to use your app or software to plan by manually inputting exact celestial coordinates RA and DEC without being connected to a telescope.

I want to know if this is possible and how BEFORE I purchase a pro version as that is my main need at the moment. Thank you.

  The only way I could find is to set the scope type to "Demo Interface". Then you get the box where you can enter RA and DEC coordinates. It is not easy to find.

  You can also go to Settings > Cooridantes > Location > Chart Center Coordinates

  

  Thanks for the help!
