tray light. Light can be turned off by sliding all the way to 0.

alignment for the NexStar Evolution is SkyAlign. Alignment
is achieved by centering and aligning 3 bright stars in the
telescope’s eyepiece.

be saved when shutting the telescope off or disconnecting
and exiting the app.

be adjusted from default.

power. Decreasing speed will operate more quietly.

default tracking rate and used for all stars and deep space objects.
• Lunar - Used for tracking the Moon and when observing the lunar landscape.
• Solar - Used for tracking the Sun when solar observing with a proper filter.
