/* Recipe 3: spectroscopy */
*'''Guide Mode''': Always select ''On'' for spectroscopy to prevent the target from drifting off the slit.
*'''Type''': Choose ''Expose'' here.  An arc lamp spectrum is automatically taken after each science spectrum, so there’s no need to make a configuration using ''Arc_lamp''.  Other applicable options are ''Bias'', ''Sky_flat'' and ''Standard'', but these are taken automatically on a regular basis, so you will have access to them without observing them as part of your proposal.
*'''Acquire Mode''': The options areas follows, where AcN stands for "acquire nearest star" and "Acq" means to "acquire RA & Dec": what do these mean?? #''AcN:OFF&Acq:OFF'': do not use this for spectroscopy, the target will not land on the slit. #''AcN:OFF&Acq:ON'': this option will centre the requested coordinates on the centre of the CCD. This should be used if the field is crowded and/or the target wouldn't be visible in a four second acquisition image. #''AcN:ON&Acq:ON  '': this option first centres the specified coordinates on the centre of the CCD, then adjusts the pointing to recentre on the brightest star found within a 3 arcsec search area around that position. This is useful for transients which may not have such accurate coordinates.
*'''Dither''': Select ''None'' as this is not commissioned on Lesedi+Mookodi.
