-====== Pointing ======
-  - Use your favorite star catalog to identify a well-known source that's easily recognizable by eye.
-  - Aim for a bright source near zenith (this tends to speed things up).
-  - With the source selected, navigate to TheSky6, hit 'cntrl-f' or select the binoculars button ({{ts6-search-button.png?20|}}) to open a search dialog, then try to find your source.
-  - If found, an "Object Information" dialog box opens. Confirm that this is the correct source, then select the small green telescope button to SLEW ({{ts6-slew-button.png?20|}})
-          - TheSky6 will ask you to confirm the SLEW command -- take a moment to ensure the surroundings are clear for movement.
-  -  Now start taking some frames
-          - If your source is in the frames, HUZZAH
-          - If not ... YOU GET A PADDLE and make it in the frame!
-                  - It is perhaps easiest to work with the finderscope, which has a larger FoV than the main DFM telescope
-  - Make any necessary adjustments to get the source in the center of the FoV of the main DFM Scope
-  - Go to DFMTCS > Telescope > Initialization > Telescope Position
-          - Select "Use Next Object Position", then select "Apply"
