The Goto/Stop Button

This is used to tell the telescope to move to (and track) the currently selected target and also to stop the telescope.

Note that, when stopped, the telescope servo is still running in order to keep it in a fixed position. The telescope is only truly inactive when it is parked. If leaving the control room unattended for a long period, it is wise to park the telescope.
