/* Making a pointing model using SHOC */
== Making a pointing model using SHOC ==
1. # Open all the usual SiTech software and ready the telescope for observing, then in /home/observer/bin open the programme that connects to SHOC and run astrometry:
sudo mono SiTechCamera.exe
sudo ./RunAstrometry
2. # The SHOC browser should be closed, but there's no need to turn the camera off. In the SiTechCamera GUI, select the Latest Image tab, enter an exposure time and click "TakeImage". Check that the image loads (the image scaling can't be adjusted, so if you can't see any stars, make sure you're pointing at stars and tracking, and that the exposure time is sensible).
3. Make sure that SHOC's rotator is tracking, and is set to "Track PA" and "If PA is out of range, Track PA+-180" on "Config Page 1" of the rotator GUI. On the "Tertiary mirror" tab of the SiTech TCP Focuser GUI, ensure that the tertiary mirror is at the correct angle ("Current Position" = "Final Position (Right Fork)".
