If that is possible, I have not yet found out how. The smartphone with the app is mainly there to navigate in the starry sky. The app shows you where which planet or star is with your movement from the telescope. The app also shows you when you are exactly on the star with the telescope and you should see it through the telescope. The app gives interesting information about the sky and the individual planets.
I hope this helps you and if it is to be a gift, I can assure you that it will be very well received! I also received it as a gift.
Happy holidays.
