 The first column (**Observatory**) shows the local civil time as well as local sidereal time (LST). The dome should be open and slaved (meaning it is synched with the motion of the telescope). You may find site conditions and weather in the [[acp_web_interface#SkyCenter Observatory Live]] section.  The first column (**Observatory**) shows the local civil time as well as local sidereal time (LST).

 The **Plan** column on the right shows the indices of a set of exposures. This includes the number of filters and repeats for a set of observations. This information becomes useful when plan files, with many observations, are submitted to the observatory. It helps you understand where in the sequence of acquisition of what has been acquired and what images have yet to be taken. The **Plan** column on the right shows the indices of a set of exposures.

-Near the bottom of the __System Status Display__ window there is a link that says "Show/Hide Run Log and Abort Control." Clicking the link will reveal an embedded console that displays the internal operations of the observatory. First time users need not worry about the details, but it is still recommended to monitor this activity for errors and other kinds of useful information such as the seeing calculated from the autofocus procedure.  +Near the bottom of the __System Status Display__ window there is a link that says "Show/Hide Run Log and Abort Control."

 The run log is saved to disk and is accessible under the menu option "My Documents." Note that when the system is running (taking images) a "Stop Run" option is displayed. Pressing this will abort the current activity and leave the telescope idle in its current position. Before pressing this button...

-It is a good idea to keep the System Status Display visible and add any other windows you want beneath it. A very good thing to monitor (and it is fun to do so) are the cameras under the SkyCenter Observatory Live. Both the System Status Display and the SkyCenter Observatory Live links are under the “Live Observing” the “Observatory Info” dropdown menu options.  Click on the Skycenter Observatory Live to see views such as the all-sky camera and interior views of the telescope (Fig 7).  This page updates automatically- but if the image appears stale it can updated by clicking the “Refresh” button at the bottom. There is a separate link to view the North facing camera as well. Clicking and holding the mouse button down on the camera view of the telescope will enlarge the image. On a related note you will find current infrared satellite imagery (animation) for Arizona and the Clear Sky Clock for the Mount Lemmon Skycenter under the “Observatory Info” menu option (Fig 8). +It is a good idea to keep the __System Status Display__ visible and add any other windows you want beneath it.
