Sun observations / or Michelson experiment

To observe the Sun with Telesto it is mandatory to put a cap and a filter to prevent the detector's damage (the sun is too bright to observe it without protection).
Follow these steps:

1) In the control room, take the Sun filter. This filter let about 1/10000 of the light to pass through it (in all wavelengths).

2) In the dome, place the sun filter in the white cap

3) Use the ladder to help you to remove the cover from the telescope

3a) Remove the 4 butterfly screws from the telescope front

6) Install the white cap and secure it with the butterfly screws

7) Place the ladder back close to the wall, where it was

8) Follow the STARTUP procedure of the Telesto user manual. 

9) Go in the 'Advanced Sequencer'

10) In the 'Instructions' tab on the right, drag and drop 'Solar system Body Sequence' to the left

11) Select the options to slew

12) Slew to the target 

 12) Take a picture and check the Sun centering

13) Check that the Sun is well centered in the image, otherwise add an offset in the point 11) and take other pictures
