Our telescope is driven in RA and Dec by a [Sidereal Technology](https://siderealtechnology.com/) F1 Controller, the user interface of which, SiTech.exe, runs on the Windows computer in the dome. We typically access this computer using remote desktop softwarefrom 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/).
