-The beacons wil<font 14px/Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>l need to be aligned before g</font>oing on sky and are usually done after the lab is aligned, after the pops have been changed and M10 mirrors aligned, before sunset and again before slewing. Make sure the carts are not at the front when performing these alignments or the labao alignments will be off. Move the carts to 5m or farther from the home switch. The beacon alignments consist of opening the proper mirror, beacon and fiber covers, turning on the beacons and tel WFS cameras and labao displays, and aligning and focusing the red and blue beacons to the respective boxes on the tel WFS and labao. The obsgtk will display a green message at the bottom to confirm each alignment sequence has completed.+The beacons wil<font 14px/Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>l need to be aligned before g</font>oing on sky and are usually done after the lab is aligned, after the pops have been changed and M10 mirrors aligned, before sunset and again before slewing.

 In the WFS tab of the telescope GUI or the CONTROL tab of the obsgtk, turn on the red LED, open the fiber covers, then beacon flat covers. The CAMERALINK and WFS server are now part of Bootlaunch script and the ANDOR camera power should always be on in the POWER gui. Open M5 and M7 covers. In the WFS tab of the telescope GUI or the CONTROL tab of the obsgtk, turn on the red LED, open the fiber covers, then beacon flat covers.
