If you notice any funny effects with the SHOC interface running in Chrome (e.g. image not displaying, red lines being deposited in the plot area by the cursor), '''try running SHOC from Firefox''' and these should be resolved.
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, the number of rows affected varying 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.
