Once connected through the AUX or Hand Control port, the module creates its own secure WiFi network and pairs with the app. Explore the sky visually and tap any object you wish to view. The telescope slews there and begins tracking. Next, you can view detailed information or even listen to audio descriptions as you observe. Not sure what to look at next?
