This app allows you to remote control HEQ-5(EQ-6) telescope mount.
Just connect your mount to HC-05(06)* bluetooth module.**

In order for the bTrack to properly track celestial objects, the mount must be polar-aligned first. See the HEQ5/EQ6 mount instruction manual for procedures on how to polar aligned.

Sidereal rate tracking (STAR mode) is the default tracking rate. It allows tracking of most celestial objects at the
speed of the Earth's rotation rate.

Solar rate tracking (SUN mode) allows bTrack to properly track the Sun
over a long period of time.

Lunar rate tracking (MOON mode) allows bTack to track the Moon at the
same rate the Moon moves across the sky.

GUIDE | SLOW | FAST
tracking mode ON Guiding Speed | 4x | 8x
tracking mode OFF 32x | 64x | 800x
