Encountered problem with telescope slew executing while observation started. Offset slew should complete before the next exposure starts in exposure scripts. There appears to be a problem with commands hanging in the TCS.

Weathered out during first quarter.
Would appreciate if it were possible to use VNC to observe. There are significant latency and resolution issues with observing over Zoom.
