Mookodi
,/* Operating Mookodi */
Prepare the Lesedi telescope by following the [https://topswiki.saao.ac.za/index.php/Lesedi#Start-up_recipes Lesedi start-up recipes]. As Mookodi is on the old SHOC port, any references to the SHOC port should be taken to mean the Mookodi port.
''Note: Dark and bias frames cannot be taken via the web GUI at this stage.'' They can only be taken via the [[#Operation via the command line interface (CLI)|command line interface (CLI)]]. Observers are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the current [[#Known_Issues|known issues]] before commencing their observing run.
=== Operation via the web GUI ===
Open the web GUI at [http://mookodi.suth.saao.ac.za:5000 mookodi.suth.saao.ac.za:5000]. The GUI is roughly divided into four sections. From top to bottom: Instrument opto-mechanic configuration(lamps, slit, filters etc.), target acquisition(auto acquisition of a user defined sky-coordinate on a user specified x and y pixel position), exposure configuration(exposure time, and camera binning etc.), higher level instrument control(start exposures, auto-focus instrument etc. At this stage the target acquisition features are not implemented), and an image display.
# '''Instrument Configuration:'''
#*'''CCD Temperature:''' Displays the current CCD temperature, and buttons for cooling down and warming up. The camera takes 10 - 15 minutes to cool, and will stabilise at approximately -70 ºC. Cool the camera at the start of observations and warm it up once you are done.
