/* Autoguiding */
== Autoguiding ==
Ultimately the autoguider control will be integrated into the TCS, but for now it has a standalone GUI run on 1ms1 via the Lesedi-NUC. Connect to the NUC via remote desktop, e.g. for Linux use the Remmina client, set the server to lesedi-nuc.suth.saao.ac.za and enter the username and password from the Lesedi User Resources Google document.
Once connected to Lesedi-NUC, if the autoguider GUI isn't already running (or is not responding), open a terminal, login to 1ms1 (username & password in the google doc) and check for any autoguider jobs already running:
ssh -Y observer@1ms1.suth.saao.ac.za
# Click the red GUIDE button - it should turn green to indicate that it has started guiding.
'''If guiding fails''' at any point during a track (e.g. due to cloud), the button will turn red. Try increasing the exposure time (change the value and click "CONTINUOUS") and click GUIDE if the star is sill near the box. If the star has drifted, you can either offset the telescope to bring it back to its original position and then click GUIDE, or if it is not important to you to keep the target in the original position on the science image, you can repeat the guide star selection procedure to resume guiding in the new position.
