/* Start-up remotely */
# The startup procedure rotates the tertiary mirror to Mookodi, so if you wish to use Sibonise click SIBONISE to the mid-left of the TCS display. The selected instrument name will turn green.
=== Start-up : observing remotely ===
On-site technical staff should have checked the facility in the afternoon, clearing any obstacles, turning off the dome lockout and any lights that are not under software control.
# If you are not working on the SAAO network (i.e. not on site at SAAO in Cape Town), enable your SAAO VPN.
# '''Check the weather conditions [https://suthweather.saao.ac.za/ here]'''. If windspeed <60km/h and T-T<sub>dew</sub> > 1.5 (see [[#Observing limits|observing limits]]), continue with step 2.
# Open a Chrome or Chromium browser, navigate to the [https://unifivideo.suth.saao.ac.za:7443/cameras Unifi webcam], click "Live Feed" and check your volume level so you can hear sounds from the dome. Also # In another tab, open this [https:10.2.50.12 webcam] which gives a wider view of the observing floor.
# Open another browser window and navigate to the TCS (URL, username & password in the Lesedi User Resources google doc).
# Navigate to the "Advanced" tab of the TCS, and in the central "Dome" section, turn the Slew Lights ON and check the webcam to see if observing floor is clear (if not, call the standby technician). Switch the Slew Lights OFF.
