Where do you save a catalogue to txt) with the following format: Target_1_name HH:MM:SS.S -DD:MM:SS.S J2000Target_2_name HH:MM:SS.S -DD:MM:SS.S J2000Target_3_name HH:MM:SS.S -DD:MM:SS.S J2000 * Do not include spaces in the target names and use colons in what format?the RA and Dec!
Focusing the acquisition camera
# Start exposures with the acquisition camera and tune the exposure time/LUT sliders/slit illumination to allow good contrast of the scratches on the lower slit jaw.
# Adjust the acquisition camera focus in the bottom right "Camera Focus" box until the scratches on the slit jaw appear as sharp as you can get them.
