Pako> p40 !Short length pointing for weak sources+start Pako> p60 !Long length pointing for strong sources+start Before each OnOff or map if they are larger than 30 mn.

Pako> bt !Skydip at the current azimuth+start Every 2 hours in stable atmospheric condition.

Before an OnOff, be sure you are pointing at the right pixel (20).
