+.. Review the README in this procedure's directory on instructions to contribute.
+.. Static objects, such as figures, should be stored in the _static directory. Review the _static/README in this procedure's directory on instructions to contribute.

+.. Do not remove other content provided in the templates, such as a section. Instead, comment out the content and include comments to explain the situation. For example:
+	- If a section within the template is not needed, comment out the section title and label reference. Include a comment explaining why this is not required.
+    - If a file cannot include a title (surrounded by ampersands (#)), comment out the title from the template and include a comment explaining why this is implemented (in addition to applying the ``title`` directive).
+
+.. Include one Primary Author and list of Contributors (comma separated) between the asterisks (*):
+.. |author| replace:: *Ioana Sotuela*
+.. If there are no contributors, write "none" between the asterisks. Do not remove the substitution.

+.. Recommended format for all labels is "Title Name"-"Section Name" -- Spaces should be replaced by hyphens.
+.. To reference a label that isn't associated with an reST object such as a title or figure, you must include the link an explicit title using the syntax :ref:`link text <label-name>`.
+.. An error will alert you of identical labels during the build process.

+
+.. _AuxTel-Rotator-Out-Of-Range-Procedure-Steps:
+
+Procedure Steps
+===============
+
+The interim solution requires recovering the *ATPtg* back to ``ENABLED`` in the case it went to ``FAULT``, and skipping to the next target in the ATQueue 
+by pressing the :guilabel:`PLAY` button. 
+If this script also fails with the same error, wait three minutes and try again.
+
+
+#. Recover *ATPtg* from ``FAULT`` state: Transition the *ATPtg* *CSC* from LOVE ASummaryState through the states, ``FAULT`` → ``STANDBY`` → ``START`` → ``ENABLED``.
+#. Add a :file:`auxtel/correct_pointing.py` script to the top of the queue to recover the pointing offsets from the beginning of the night. No configuration is needed, you can use the default configuration.  
+#. Press :guilabel:`PLAY` button in the ATQueue: This will skip to the next target waiting in the queue.
+#. If this "new" script fails as well, wait three minutes and repeat 1-2 again.
+#. Log in relevant information about this failure in the ticket `OBS-52 <https://rubinobs.atlassian.net/browse/OBS-52>`__.
+
+
+Alternative Procedure
+=====================
+
+In case the previous steps did not work, rotator continues failing and *ATPtg* never went to ``FAULT`` state, there is an alternative solution as follows. 
+
+#. Track a new target placing the standard script :file:`auxtel/track_target.py` at the top of the queue. 
+   Use the following configuration:
+
+   .. code-block:: text
+    :caption: track_target.py
+
+    az: 90.0
+    el: 60.0
+    mag_limit: 8.0
+
+#. Continue adding :file:`auxtel/correct_pointing.py` as in step 2 of previous procedure with the following configuration:
+
+   .. code-block:: text
+    :caption: correct_pointing.py
+
+    az: 90.0
+    el: 60.0
+
+#. Press :guilabel:`PLAY` button in the ATQueue.
+
+#. Log in relevant information about this failure in the ticket `OBS-52 <https://rubinobs.atlassian.net/browse/OBS-52>`__.

+- *ATPtg* is back to the ``ENABLED`` state.
+- The rotator is within the acceptable range for operations.
