Can I manually close STELLINA's arm?

When the telescope is on standby mode or turned off (no acquisition in progress), you can open and close the arm of Stellina manually, as long as this is done gently!

However, we advise using the Open / Close button of your mobile app, on the instrument's page (even if it's grey, you can still click on it)

If you press the On / Off button on the telescope, its arm will open and close automatically.
