== Change Log ==
*'''February 2024:''' The new fold mirror for the instrument selector is now installed so there are some changes tp the routine to do target acquisition and to set up the guider - refer to the wiki for the [https://topswiki.saao.ac.za/index.php/74%22_/_1.9m_-_%22Instrument_Selector%22 "Instrument Selector"].
*'''October 2023:''' The new autoguider that forms part of the instrument selector to accommodate both SpUpNIC and SHOC has been commissioned. There are slight changes to the operation of the autoguider, and observers now needs to connect to a new TCS PC (tcs74v4.suth) to use the telescope with SpUpNIC.
*'''27 September 2017:''' SpUpNIC back in service after fixing a bad connection within the pre-amp electronics. On 8 September the detector began producing only zeros and after extensive trouble-shooting, the detector package was removed from the instrument (on 13 September) and sent down to Cape Town for further investigation and subsequent repair. A total of 12 scheduled nights were lost to this extremely serious failure (although the two observers affected worked with SHOC instead).
