Changes

If the telescope reaches an altitude limit, it will simply stop tracking and can be pointed to a new position. Note that the TCS will not warn you that the limit has been reached, but you will see the RA & Dec changing and the Alt & Az not. The azimuth rotation is limited to a range of 400° in order to avoid twisting the cables that pass through the pier. It is therefore possible to encounter an azimuth limit while tracking, but this should be rare because the limits are in the West. If a limit is reached, the telescope should automatically "unwind" by 360° in azimuth and continue tracking (if it doesn't, simply repoint the telescope). If the telescope would land within 40° of an azimuth limit when slewed to a target, it will instead "unwind" to avoid the limit.

The user interface is a web browser that communicates with Lesedi's underlying control software. The browser-based software will be referred to as the "TCS" and the back-end software as the "SiTech software". The SiTech software consists of seven GUIs that must be running in the background for the TCS to function. Ideally, these GUIs will remain running at all times and the user will only interact with the TCS.
