4. In the TCS '''Controls''' tab click '''Manage Targets''' '''HOW DOES THIS WORK??'''.

== Autoguiding ==
 
Ultimately the autoguider control will be integrated into the TCS, but for now it has a standalone GUI. To start the autoguider sofware:
 
ssh -Y observer@1ms1.suth.saao.ac.za
cd /home/observer/xyslide_lodestar_GUI_V2
sudo ./main_prog -depth 24
 
Points to note:
* The XY slides can move 20000 steps in X and 15000 in Y.
* To guide while using SHOC, select Slide 0.
* To start continuous exposures with the autoguider Lodestar camera, enter a number (~2 seconds) in the box on the right, and click CONTINUOUS. *********
* If the status of any of the error codes (Err, XLL, XUL, YLL or YUL) is 1, click RESET, then INITIALISE.
* It is not yet possible to select a guide star from a catalogue, so for now it's a bit of a fishing expedition.
* Put values in both X and Y boxes and click GOTO to move the slides. '''As Y approaches 10000 it begins to vignette the SHOC field.''' *********
* For a '''sky angle''' of 0, i.e. North up, both the N-S and E-W buttons should be green. For a sky angle of 180, they should both be clicked and turn red.
* FAKE should always be red while guiding, as this is a test function.
