* '''February 2024: a new [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 the 1.9m''', 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. Once complete this instrument selector will allow both SpUpNIC and SHOC, or HiPPo and SHOC, to be mounted together on the telescope. The It incorporates a new autoguider that 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.
