There are some Hydra configuration files available for observing standard
stars by the normal configuration process which places
FOPS in the field of the standard for guiding.
This minimizes the overhead of searching for guide
stars in the standard command with the
gripper TV.
These files are located in the ~/stdfields directory
of the fibwiyn account
and are usable from the hydra visitor account (the program
looks in this directory as well as in the fields directory
for hydra configuration files).
Hydra can be configured for such files following the normal field configuration process ( setup field and setup observe ). Just type in the name of the file when prompted as you would your other files.

The current list of standards available in configuration file format are:
NOTE: We have not yet verified that these files are astrometrically viable. Please use at risk until we have had a chance to do so. It is also only possible to observe the star through slit position 50 at the current time.
We will attempt to add in some radial velocity standards as time permits. Such files will be indicated by an rvr or rvb prefix.
We suggest that the observer consider creating similar Hydra configuration files for their specific standards if possible. Caution must be exerted to ensure that such fields will be astrometrically viable.
