Modern Acquisition and Guiding systems provide a range of services with the aim of optimizing telescope performance. These include wavefront sensing for active optics, fast guiding and measurement of seeing. On a segmented-mirror telescope, the Acquisition and Guiding system may also be expected to provide measurements of the piston errors between the primary mirror segments. The Guacamole (GUiding, Acquisition and CAlibration MOduLE) system of the 10 m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) has been designed to provide all of these services. Complete systems will be installed at each of the GTC Nasmyth foci. The requirements of this system are presented and a preliminary design is described.
