Abstract
- In this paper I outline the methods of pointing and tracking that are to be used on the 10-meter telescope of the W. M. Keck Observatory. I discuss the relevant reference frames and timescales, giving recipes for achieving the required transformations, and then go on to show how various telescope pointing corrections are taken into account.
