Previous: The TV acquisition camera
The acquisition and guide box (JAG) currently used on the JKT
features a travelling flat mirror which when in place directs the
telescope beam to a high gain TV camera. This is a very powerful system
in many senses of the word and so care must be taken in its use. The best
way to ensure that you do not damage the TV and what is more get the most
out of its facilities is to READ THE REST OF THIS SECTION.
****WARNING*********WARNING********WARNING********WARNING****
The very high-gain TV camera can be quickly and permanently
DAMAGED BY OVER-ILLUMINATION. Do not, therefore, operate the TV until
you have read all of this Section and preferably have also been shown
how to use it.
