== Telescope pointing limits ==
The operational limits of the telescope are depicted in Figure~\ref{fig-limits}the figure below. Please keep an eye on the instrument whenslewing the telescope to ensure that it doesn't strike the pier.
If the telescope reaches the limits, the drive motors will cut out, dome rotation will be disabled, an alarm will sound and a red light will flash on the grey box on the East side of the North pier. To recover, turn the override key on the grey box, switch the drives to FAST mode and slew the telescope away from the limits. '''Be very sure that you know which way to slew, as the telescope can be moved in any direction when the override key is turned.''' If in doubt, call a technician.
