This document outlines the intricate processes involved in controlling non-geostationary (NGS) and laser guide star (LGS) light within an adaptive optics system. It focuses on key components such as telescope pointing offload, tip/tilt mirror (TTM) adjustments, and the role of transmissive dichroics for infrared (IR) management. Essential elements like the science camera, deformable mirror (DM), and wavefront sensor (WFS) are covered in depth, detailing how optimized centroid offsets improve wavefront reconstruction and maintain precision in imaging through focus adjustments.
