 1.) Move the tracker to the center preset position or (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0). Both ways of moving the tracker can be found on the TCS GUI under the tracker tab. The present motions are under the present tab and absolute tab in RTF. This will let you move it to a manual desired position of (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).
 
-2.) Save 2-3 exposures on each camera to ensure they are all working properly. To start the images hit "Start Camera Pipeline" and "Start Images" to start the camera. When ready, check the save images box near the top. The current camera's right now are: T/T, CWFS, PV, WFS1, WFS2, GC1, GC2, BIB, and ACQ

  a.) For T/T look for the return spot. If you do not see it, one solution may be that the tracker is not at the center position.

  1.) The first test is a non-sidereal trajectory, usually in the form of a Geostationary Satellite. There are two options for satellites, DIRECTV10 or GOES14. To send this trajectory to the telescope, you will need to go to the HTCS log monitor and only type in the name of one of the two satellites in all capital letters. This will start a script that moves the telescope to the target. Once the telescope is tracking the target (you will be able to tell this under the Trajectory tab under Status. There should be a set of coordinates in the current section) test the T/T camera to make sure the tracker is on sphere. If you are not getting any feedback from T/T it could be going between mirror gaps. Observe it for a while and if you do not see the return signal back on T/T this could point to several problems with the tracker and at this point it may be a good idea to alert the correct personnel. When you are finished testing T/T cancel this trajectory.
 
- 2.) The second trajectory is a standard sidereal trajectory. Under the trajectory tab on the TCS GUI there is a section called "Trajectory", click on the south preset trajectory and click load. Once these coordinates appear in the next column (and you have cancelled the previous trajectory.), click "Go Next" and wait for the trajectory to move in the current section. Once the telescope is on the trajectory, test the T/T camera again and look for the spot feedback. Once you have confirmed this, you can cancel the trajectory.
