point while tracking or slewing. This is important for Alt/Az telescopes
especially because of the 'Dobson hole'. For others it prevents crashing the
bottom of an OTA into a pier or tripod.]

6 Telescope Encoder Wiring and Setup
Once your encoders are properly wired, you can connect any device to the controller
via WiFi and navigate to http://192.168.0.1 using a web browser to verify the
connection and direction of the encoders. On the webpage's main screen, observe the
encoder values as the telescope moves; these should alter concurrently and should
closely align with the motor’s values. Specifically:
The altitude numbers should increase when elevating the telescope.
The azimuth values should ascend as the telescope rotates clockwise.
