=== Notes for the reader ===
This manual wiki is intended to supplement the existing TCS and instrument user's guides, filling the void of information about the telescope and facility, and providing recipes for observing with the telescope-instrument-TCS combination.
For detailed information about the TCS and instrument software, please refer to the manuals listed below, which are available in the warm room, the hostel library, and are linked to on the 1.0-metre section of the following web page:
* SHOC wiki https://topswiki.saao.ac.za/index.php/SHOC
Much of the manual assumes that the user has never before set foot in the dome, and has no local human to guide them. This is particularly true for Chapter~\ref[[Link title]]{chap-tour}. {\bf If you are familiar with the telescope, you may wish to skip Chapter~\ref{chap-tour}, but please read Chapters~\ref{chap-limits} and~\ref{chap-faults} as some things have changed(!)}. Observing recipes are given in Chapters~\ref{chap-start} to~\ref{chap-end}, which may prove useful as checklists for experienced observers and novice users alike.
Please send comments/requests/omissions to hannah@saao.ac.za.
