TAO Troubleshooting Auto-Focus

Someone asked me how the auto-focus works yesterday, and as (bad) luck would have it, the observatory is currently not focusing correctly. The best way to understand something is to break it, then fix it. So tonight we will try to troubleshoot the focusing issue. We will show how we use the automated tools to sync the telescope to the sky; locate an slew to suitable focus star; manually get to near-focus; use the V-curve wizard to generate fresh data for the focusing AI, test the system, and if all is well, launch the scheduler into autonomous mode and watch it take the first images.
