TO procedures for Operating the telescope
New: On the trajectory panel in the RA/Dec offset hand paddle control we now display the cumulative offets in RA and DEC. This counter can be reset using a button under the display at any time. This does not move the telescope, it just zeros the counter.
Making offsets using Makers on the cameras
There are a number of different key board and mouse moves to create different types of markers.
- Alt left mouse click - set a marker (to make the marker the fiducial you must hit "Set Fiducial" on the Camera window)
- drag left mouse click - set a box (to make the box a guide box you must hit the "Set Guide Box" on the Camera window)
- Shift left mouse click - set a manual centroid around a single star this looks like a blue box
To move from one location to another
- put a manual centroid (blue box) around the target star
- Alt right mouse click on the target marker - this moves THE TELESCOPE to put the star on the marker
- Shift-Alt right mouse click on the target marker - this moves the GUIDE PROBE to put the star on the marker
- wait for the motion to occur
