- First check that you have entered the correct position and
equinox into the GSS.
- Are the guide probes at their requested position on the
Mimic? If not repeat the GDXY command.
- From the Mimic, check the autoguider ND and Colour filter
codes. Using Table 3, check that
BOTH of these correspond to clear, UBK7 filters, matched
to the thickness of the CCD filter you're using. If the
colour one were set to UV, you're not going to see very much
on the autoguider raster.
- Check that the UT and LST of the TCS computer
are the same of that in the INT and/or WHT.
- Given the fairly awful pointing of the JKT, unless you have
finding charts and use the TV for acquisition, then your
target (and guide star) could possibly be more than 60 arcs
from where you expect it to be, in which case it was fall
outside the 2 arcmin autoguider raster.
- Faint guide star - bright moon?
- The calibrate was not done centred on the actual
rotator centre. Maybe the translucent ring needs to
be moved on the TV monitor.
