or manually by adjusting the focus while framing, or by using Bahtinov
Mask Assistant. Create presets for different configurations and set
advanced settings to control the star detection and focusing algorithms.

your mount tracks accurately with time. It can automatically select and
lock a guide star and send correction pulses to the mount to keep it
always centered.
