The basic steps are:
  - Select the telescope driver (ASCOM or other driver; if ASCOM or INDI, be sure to have installed the corresponding drivers)
  - Once you have selected the telescope driver, go to telescope control panel and set the basic telescope configuration: COM port, model variant, ...
  - When ready (all cables set, hand-pad initialization done), connect the telescope using the **Connect** button.
  - Click the **Slew** button to command the telescope to go to your target.
