Acquisition and guidance

Most of the ING telescope foci are equipped with a dedicated acquisition and guiding unit. In most cases the use of these A&G facilities in conjunction with user supplied instruments is fairly straightforward. In some cases the instruments themselves will have some A&G capability, however it will often be difficult to interface these with the existing telescope operation. For example, it may be necessary to use long ladders to access eyepieces. In some cases it may be possible to modify these facilities, to allow for example a standard ING TV camera to be fitted to an eyepiece holder. The following list summarises the A&G facilities available at each of the ING telescope foci.
