Problems with the dome.
At the end of the night, when I tried to close the shutter, it opened automatically. I also noted that the dome had an incorrect alignment. Because of the incorrect alignment problem I could not point the telescope to the dome flat position. It was not possible to move the dome from the console, so I could not re align it. I tried many times to close the shutter, but it continued opening automatically.
Partial solution: a) In order to close the shutter of the dome I had to turn off the master power in the console in the precise moment that the shutter was closed. b) I moved the telescope manually to the dome flat position to take the calibrations.
TO DO:
When the calibrations had finished please check what happened with the dome, it seems to be a mechanical problem. After of that probably will be a good idea to take again the calibrations with the precise position for the dome flats, use the script ctiopi.calibrations.
GSU team: Please check the calibrations (flats), I pointed the telescope to the flat dome position by eyes.
