== SHOC on Lesedi vs. other SAAO telescopes ==
 
SAAO has two Andor cameras, interchangeably referred to as SHOC. The one largely dedicated to Lesedi is "shocndisbelief" ("shocnawe" is usually on the 1.9- & 1.0-m). Shocndisbelief has a roving bias issue in the 1MHz mode (a differential count level occurs, and the number of rows affected varies with time) so it is recommended to operate in 3MHz readout. SHOC's field of view is larger on Lesedi than on the other telescopes (5.7x5.7 arcmin<sup>2</sup>), with a platescale of 0.33"/pixel, so the appropriate binning is usually 1x1 or 2x2.
 
The login for SHOC on Lesedi is given in the Lesedi User Resources google doc.
