The telescope can be operated either remotely from Cape Town (remote mode), or locally from the dome (local mode). Users at the dome can slew the telescope either from the TCS or manually from the observing floor. This wiki gives instructions for all options.
== Local mode ===== Start-up Recipe===
1. Switch ON '''lighting circuits''' at entrance to dome.
2. Switch OFF all downstairs & observing '''floor lights''' ([http://topswiki.saao.ac.za/index.php/19m#Light_switches having trouble finding the switches]?)
3. Check weather on the [http://suthweather.saao.ac.za/ Sutherland weather website] -- '''only proceed if windspeed < 60 km/h; humidity <90%; T_external - T_dewpoint > 1.5and no thick cloud.'''
4. Check '''Telescope Power Control''' is set to PLC at top of stairs (should be the default).
