Preparing telescope systems to take dome flats
Prepare everything to move telescope and dome
- Turn HBS on
- Raise M1
- Put SCS in follow mode
- Cass rotator on
- Locking pins out
- Dome in computer mode
- Init dome
- Set the Deployable Baffles to RETRACTED and the periscope to OPEN
- Be sure that the mirror cover and instrument cover are open
- Move telescope, CRCS and dome to:
- Telescope at Az= 265deg, Elev=+45
- Rotator= 180deg
- Dome Az at 185deg.
- Disassert the Az/El and CassRot drives - this breaks the telescope in place
Once the flats are done
- Take the telescope back to Zenith
- Turn HBS off
- Park M1
- Remove SCS from follow mode
- Locking pins in
- Close mirror and instrument covers
- Leave Dome control in off
- CRCS off
