== Change Log ==
*'''October 2023:''' The new autoguider that forms part of the instrument selector to accommodate both SpUpNIC and SHOC has been commissioned. There are slight changes to the operation of the autoguider, and <span style="color:red">observers now needs to connect to a new TCS PC (tcs74v4.suth) to use the telescope with SpUpNIC.</span>
*'''27 September 2017:''' SpUpNIC back in service after fixing a bad connection within the pre-amp electronics. On 8 September the detector began producing only zeros and after extensive trouble-shooting, the detector package was removed from the instrument (on 13 September) and sent down to Cape Town for further investigation and subsequent repair. A total of 12 scheduled nights were lost to this extremely serious failure (although the two observers affected worked with SHOC instead).
*'''3 August 2017:''' Completed extensive testing of various gratings (particularly G7) in order to characterise the ghosting issues reported previously.
