==Recipe 3: spectroscopy==
 
===Configuration: spectroscopy===
*'''Instrument Category''': SPECTRA
*'''Instrument''': 1M0a_Mookodi_Spec
*'''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 are: what do these mean??
 
AcN:OFF&Acq:OFF
 
AcN:OFF&Acq:ON
 
AcN:ON&Acq:ON
 
 
 
*'''Dither''': Select ''None'' as this is not commissioned on Lesedi+Mookodi.
 
===Instrument Configuration: spectroscopy===
 
*'''Exposure Count''': Enter the number of consecutive images to take with this instrument configuration and the specified Exposure Time.
*'''Readout Mode''': The options are 1x1HighFastAuto or 1x1HighSlowAuto with the format Binning_Gain_Readout_Shutter and the following definitions:
 
Binning: 1x1 (platescale 0.59 arcsec/pix)
 
Gain: High (for faint targets) or Low (bright targets)
 
Readout rate: Fast (5 MHz - read noise 13.6 electrons) or Slow (0.05 MHz read noise 3.3 electrons)
 
*'''Shutter''': Auto triggers automatically between exposures.
*'''Filter''': Select ''OUT'' for spectroscopy.
*'''Obfilter''': Select ''OrdBlk_Fltr'' for spectroscopy.
*'''Slit''': There are two options for slit width - corresponding resolutions can be found on the [https://topswiki.saao.ac.za/index.php/Mookodi#Instrument_Description Mookodi wiki]:
#''mk-narrow'' (2 arcsec)
#''mk-wide'' (4 arcsec)
*'''Grism''': must be ''IN'' for spectroscopy.
*'''Offset RA/Dec''':
