The "new" 1-m telescope was installed in the dome that previously housed a 30-inch telescope. The telescope was built by APM Telescopes[1] and was lifted into the dome on 02 August 2016. Commissioning is currently underway.
The 30-inch telescope was donated to the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal.

Running AG Lodestars through rts2
- Check whether Lodestar is connected:
ssh pi@1mag1.suth.saao.ac.za (or pimag2 for DER2) lsusb Look for "Starlight Xpress Lodestar autoguider" in output
- Start rts2 control of Lodestar on the pi:
ssh pi@1mag1.suth.saao.ac.za sudo bash /etc/init.d/rts2 start
- Take images with the Lodestar:
ssh -X observer@1ms1.suth.saao.ac.za rts2-xfocusc -d AG1CCD -e 1 (where AG1CCD is on DER1 and -e is the exposure time option).
- Take and save an image with the Lodestar:
CTRL-C out of rts2-xfocusc rts2-scriptexec -d AG1CCD -s 'E 1'
- Loop multiple saved images:
rts2-scriptexec -d AG1CCD -s 'for 5 {E 1}' (also rts2-xfocusc --save)
