The operation of RTS2 may, at present, appear chaotic to the responsible CAHA staff, especially in case of GRB alerts. We believe that care should be taken to inform people around about the actions the telescope is performing in a simple and accessible way. | The operation of RTS2 may, at present, appear chaotic to the responsible CAHA staff, especially in case of GRB alerts.

+ | From what I have seen they are all scripts which can be studied (and not really used literally). The level of support of programs based on what has been found inside is, however, likely to be different than if we use them as they are. On the other hand, connecting rts2 to epics would bring a serious simplification. | ||
