Target acquisition

A new facility was provided for all our core instruments in which target coordinates and target acquisition information (primarily the required position angle) can be provided together with a finding chart. When the form is submitted a sequencer script is generated that will point the telescope, acquire the guide star and displays the finding chart before the prompt is given back so observations such as acquiring a target on a slit or simple imaging observations can be started immediately after the script. This facility will become an integral part of the fully integrated Observing Block system we are developing (see above).
