We will check the condition of the observational instrument attached to the telescope. Currently, there a eight instruments available at the Cassegrain, Prime Focus, and two Nasmyth locations. The equipment we are going to use in today's observation is on the Cassegrain focus and was set by the day-crews. It seems like everything is in good shape.
