To increase efficiency during your observing run, you can prepare a
file containing your target list and load it into the
telescope control system. This saves you or the TO from typing in the
object coordinates every time you want to change target.
Write your object list in the format:
name ra(hh mm ss.ss)
dec(dd mm ss.ss) equinox
where name can have
up to 20 characters and equinox
specifies the equinox of the source coordinates ("B1950", "J2000" or
"APPARENT").
The list file must have extension .cat (e.g. mylist.cat).
Once you are at the telescope, copy mylist.catinto
the directory /wht/cat.
Tell the TO to include mylist.cat as an user
catalogue into the TCS.
Now, from the "Central intelligence of observing system" window
(the pink one) you (or the TO) can move the telescope to each object
loaded into
the TCS: SYS> gocat M33
