I'm not sure if that is correct. It says on their website it's a start tracker. https://www.moveshootmove.com/

Interesting. I didn't realize there was a product/company with that name. Shoot-move-shoot is a common saying in motion controlled photography, and that was what I described.

I love the age we're in where anybody with a little know how can cheaply/affordably build something that was only available to the very well funded before. Each one of these are attempting the same thing, but trying to avoid the pain points each dev has seen from other products.

It can do both. They seem to use the product's name ("move-shoot-move") to refer to a mode which both tracks the stars and moves independently, creating a panning timelapse.
