button is pushed again.
Motorized Movement Buttons: These four multi-directional buttons will allow the user to override the tracking system
and move the telescope utilizing the motors manually to another desired location. The longer these buttons are depressed,
the faster the Northstar will move until it reaches its maximum speed.
