 ===== Setting observation strategy - creating a script =====
-To show some advanced scripting features, suppose that you want to get window from CCD, begging at coordinates x=200 y=100, with width=500 and height=550 (e.g. bottom corner will be at position 700, 650). And you would like to get R band exposures, with filter selected with device FW0. You would like to get 20 120 seconds exposures. The script will then look:

 You can check observation progress on telescope (T0) and camera (C0) component. Using arrow keys, select T0 component. It shall show "observing" in on top. TAR and TEL coordinates should be almost equal, with minor differences due to telescope modelling and coordinate transformations.
-Camera component should show exposing and non-exposing states. Please watch screencast bellow to get understanding of what is happening.
+Camera component should show exposing and non-exposing states. Please see [[howto:executor]], which discuss this in more details.
