=== The Telescope ===
The Nasmyth ports are identified as left and right, defined from the point of view of someone standing behind the parked telescope, i.e. looking at the back of the primary mirror cell. Mookodi is mounted on the right-hand port, and Sibonise is being commissioned on the left. A future fibre-fed echelle will be co-mounted on an instrument selector on the right-hand port. A software-controlled, motorised tertiary mirror allows an instrument on either port to be selected in seconds.
The telescope is parked facing East, the dome to the West. There shouldn't be any need for manual interaction with the telescope during the night, but you should ensure that the observing floor is clear of ladders and other obstacles before moving the telescope, and that the mirror covers are closed before opening the dome.
