We discuss the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) Acquisition and Guide (A and G) System conceptual focal plane hardware and operational requirements and pay detailed attention to the A and G system’s three CMOS cameras’ areas and sensitivities needed to assure a high success rate in acquiring suitable guide stars. Ways to provide auxiliary functions, including the measurement of defocus and misalignment of the telescope optics, are also discussed.
