/* Recipe 4: Imaging with non-sidereal tracking */
To observe a non-sidereal target in imaging mode requires using spectroscopy mode, but with the slit and grism out of the beam:
===Configuration: spectroscopy===

<br clear=all>
*'''Instrument Category''': SPECTRA
*'''Instrument''': 1M0a_Mookodi_Spec
*'''Guide Mode''': Off
*'''Type''': Choose ''Expose'' here. 
*'''Acquire Mode''': The options are as follows, where AcN stands for "acquire nearest star" and "Acq" means to "acquire RA & Dec":
#''AcN:OFF&Acq:OFF'': do not use this for spectroscopy, the target will not land on the slit.
#''AcN:OFF&Acq:ON'': this option will centre the requested coordinates on the centre of the CCD. This should be used if the field is crowded and/or the target wouldn't be visible in a four second acquisition image.
#''AcN:ON&Acq:ON'': this option first centres the specified coordinates on the centre of the CCD, then adjusts the pointing to recentre on the brightest star found within a 3 arcsec search area around that position. This is useful for transients which may not have such accurate coordinates.
*'''Dither''': Select ''None'' as this is not commissioned on Lesedi+Mookodi.
