==Recipe 4: Imaging with non-sidereal tracking==
 
To observe a non-sidereal target in imaging mode requires using spectroscopy mode, but with the slit and grism out of the beam:
 
'''Configuration'''
'''Instrument Category''': SPECTRA
 
'''Instrument Configuration'''
'''Filter''': Mookodi has two filter magazines, which the OCS calls Filter and Obfilter (below). There needs to be one filter – and only one filter – in the beam at any time, so you need to select one from one of the two magazines. In this box you can select an SDSS filter. If you want to use a clear filter, it is in the next field, so select OUT here.
'''Obfilter''': If you have selected an SDSS filter in the Filter option, select OUT here. Otherwise select Clear. Do not select OrdBlk_Fltr - this is for spectroscopy.
'''Slit''': OUT
'''Grism''': OUT
 
'''Target'''
'''Type''': Non-sidereal
 
There is a trick to non-sidereal tracking in imaging - select "non-sidereal AND ""spectroscopy" mode and just set the grism and slit to "OUT" i.e do spectroscopy without any of the spectroscopy elements in the beam).
