Our telescope is driven in RA and Dec by a [Sidereal Technology](https://siderealtechnology.com/) F1 Controller, the user interface of which is SciTech.exe. This software runs on the Windows computer in the dome, which we access by remote desktop from the right-hand computer in the control room. Many operations are performed in the SkyView window. Focus is controlled from the [Camera Control](../camera) webpage. The steps to initialize and operate the telescope are described in [the Checklist](../checklist/).
