    5353Observing can only be done from the Mayall control room or from within the KPNO/NOAO network using a VPN.

    55 The telescope and low-level instrument control runs on observer@mayall-7.kpno.noao.edu .
    56 Log on to the mayall-7 computer: [[BR]]
    57     Username : 4meter [[BR]]
    58     Password : <Ask someone on our team or the staff> [[BR]]
    59 To run MOSAIC3, use the MOSAIC3 Menu GUI. Or you can also log into the mosaic3 computer from mayall-7:[[BR]]
    60     ssh -XY observer mosaic3[[BR]]
    61 and use command-line nocs commands. [[BR]]

    6875These environment variables define the locations of data and code:
    69    '''$HOME=/home/mzls'''[[BR]]
    70    '''$MOS3_DATA=''' -- This is where our raw data files are written. Should be something like /mosaic3/data2/observer/20160202. This is a network mounted disk on the machine mosaic3. [[BR]]
    71    '''$MOS3_OBS=$HOME/products/mosaic3''' -- This contains the observing product with code and versioned log files. [[BR]]
    72    '''$PS1CAT_DIR=/data1/mzls/ps1/chunks-qz-star-v2''' -- Pan-STARRS1 catalogs used by the IDL MOSSTAT routine for computing astrometric offsets and photometry [[BR]]
    73 These path names are set in the .bashrc file, or can be set for example with "export MOS3_DATA=/mosaic3/data2/observer".
    74 The $MOS3_DATA directory must be updated to point to the current night's data.
     76
     77 * `HOME=/home/mzls` -- This should be done for you by the operating system.
     78 * `MOS3_DATA=` -- This is where our raw data files are written. Should be something like `/mosaic3/data2/observer/20160202`. This is a network mounted disk on the machine mosaic3.
     79 * `$MOS3_OBS=$HOME/products/mosaic3` -- This contains the observing product with code and versioned log files.
     80 * `$PS1CAT_DIR=/data1/mzls/ps1/chunks-qz-star-v2` -- Pan-STARRS1 catalogs used by the IDL MOSSTAT routine for computing astrometric offsets and photometry
     81
     82These path names are set in the `~/.bashrc` file, or can be set for example with `export MOS3_DATA=/mosaic3/data2/observer`.
     83The `$MOS3_DATA` directory must be updated to point to the current night's data.

    7685Other directories in the home directory are:
    77    '''astrometry, legacypipe, obsbot, tractor, wcslib''' -- Python code for running copilot & mosbot [[BR]]
    78    '''data/''' -- Link to the top-level data directory, where each night is stored in subdirectories like "20151213" [[BR]]
    79    '''exec/''' -- Cross-mount to mosaic.kpno.noao.edu:/home/observer/exec [[BR]]
    80    '''products/''' -- Code checked out from the SDSS and the DESI svn repositories [[BR]]

     87 astrometry/, legacypipe/, obsbot/, tractor/, wcslib/:: Python code for running copilot & mosbot

    8292Documentation for the IDL scripts can be printed from the IDL prompt with the DOC_LIBRARY command, for example:
    8393{{{

     140 * The fundamental rule of remote observing is: ''If there is a '''local''' observer, do not alter anything without notifying the local observer first! Even moving the mouse at the wrong time could interfere with an essential task that the local observer is performing.''
