Mount / Telescope
Controls the Telescope/Mount. For detailed information see the section Telescope.
Opens/Closes the EOS Lens Control aid. It gives control over the attached EOS lens and allows to make precise auto-focus using FWHM (Full Width Half Maximum) or HFD (Half Flux Diameter) metrics. This method is better than camera built-in auto-focus which is not optimized for astro-photography.
