/* The Advanced Tab */
The Advanced tab is made up of four panels, one for telescope-related functions, most notably telescope park/unpark and mirror cover control; one for the selected instrument's rotator; one for the dome, including lights; and the panel containing position and time information and vital buttons, replicated from the Controls tab.

'''Telescope''' panel:
* Slew the telescope to specified alt-az coordinates. The This is not currently operational due to a bug that prevents the telescope will then start trackingfrom reaching the required position.* Start/stop the telescope tracking. Tracking should be on while observing, otherwise off. If you have pointed to a target from the Controls tab, the telescope will track automatically.
* Open/close the mirror covers. Covers should be open when observing, otherwise closed.
* Put the altaz, secondary and tertiary mirror motors in Auto mode. Motors should always be in Auto unless there is a fault. If a motor will not stay in Auto mode, call a technician.
* Park (alt=50° az=90°) or unpark the telescope (also turns tracking on) to enable it to slew.
