dc.description.abstract	A computer-controlled tracking system has been designed and constructed for the two metre antenna of the 22 GHz radio telescope at Rhodes University. The control system has been tested and its step response has been analysed with a view to response time optimization. Computer programs for tracking the sun and the moon have been written. Initial results of tracking the sun have revealed linearity and temperature stability problems. These problems have been investigated and suggestions have been made as to how they might be removed
