 +There is a [[howto:mpec|MPEC howto]]. Entering target is very similar, just instead of MPEC one-line you put in target name (resolvable by SIMBAD):

-Selector (//rts2-selector//) is process responsible for selecting new observational targets. It sends targets IDs using **next** command. You can imitate selector behaviour by running //rts2-mon//, selecting **EXEC** component and typing: //next 1000// to select target with id 1000. The selection is executed on the following occasions:+Selector (//rts2-selector//) is process responsible for selecting new observational targets. It sends targets IDs using **next** command.
