Synchronize your telescope's internal gaze direction with Starry Night
Home Scope moves your scope to home position for easier computer-to-star alignment
Park, unpark and set the park position of your scope, which is ideal for scopes placed in a permanent location or in one position for several days. Simply unpark the scope and start observing immediately without having to perform a star alignment again or recalibrating
Quickly center the Starry Night view on the onscreen telescope position marker
