It\nconnects over your local WiFi to the telescope's Raspberry Pi controller and\nturns a phone into its control station.\n\nSKY VIEW AND RADIO MAPS\n* All-sky dome with stars, constellations and the dish's current pointing\n* Radio sky overlays from the Haslam 408 MHz and HI4PI hydrogen-line surveys,\n  so you can see where the sky is bright at radio wavelengths\n* Object catalogue with the Sun, the Moon and radio targets such as Cas A,\n  Cygnus X, W51, IC 443, M31 and 3C 273, each with a short description and\n  its rise and set times\n* Tap a star or object to point the dish at it\n\nRASTER SCANS\n* Drag a rectangle on the sky to map it\n* Choose the sweep axis, the pattern, the speed and the number of rows\n* Watch the map fill in as a live heatmap while the dish sweeps\n* Share the finished scan as an image\n\nSOURCE TRACKING\n* Eight bright radio sources ready to observe: Cas A, Cyg A, Tau A, Vir A,\n  Cen A, Sgr A*, Orion A and Fornax A\n* Shows which of them rise high enough at your site\n* One tap starts tracking; the mount follows the source across the sky\n\nMOUNT CONTROL\n* Big STOP button, homing of all axes or one at a time, wake and sleep\n* Go to horizontal (Az/El/Pol) or equatorial (RA/Dec) coordinates, or track\n  an RA/Dec position\n* Travel-range hints and warnings before a target would hit an endstop\n* Step buttons with a configurable step size\n* Virtual joystick for driving azimuth and elevation by hand: the speed\n  follows your finger, the dish stops the moment you let go, and a red rim\n  shows when an axis has reached its travel limit\n\nLIVE TELEMETRY\n* Position, motion and homing state of each axis, pushed live from the mount\n* Endstop switch levels and the motor controller's temperature\n* Live radio signal chart with minimum and maximum\n* A clear banner when telemetry goes stale or the mount refuses a command\n\nSYSTEM\n* He","categories":["Science & Education"]}
