* '''February 2024: a new autoguider system [https://topswiki.saao.ac.za/index.php/74%22_/_1.9m_-_Instrument_Selector instrument selector] and [https://topswiki.saao.ac.za/index.php/SHOCnWonder SHOC camera ] have been commissioned on SpUpNIC''', which means that '''SpUpNIC and SHOC users now need to log into a new TCS PC, tcs74v4.suth'''. For the time being, HiPPo users will continue to use tcs74v3.suth. This completes the second phase of the project to install an instrument selector on the 1.9m, that will allow both SpUpNIC and SHOC, or HiPPo and SHOC, to be mounted together on the telescope. The new autoguider operates slightly differently from the old one - changes include:
** It is no longer necessary to initialise the XY slides at the start of the night, only if there is a fault, in which case the "Reset" and "Initialize" buttons will turn red, and should be clicked in that order.
** The XY slides centre position is no longer (0, 0) but (7150, 82000). The new "Center" button is now used to bring the XY slides back to that position, no longer the "Initialize" button.
