None
Problems: 

The Chiron controller overwrote files on 2 occasions. Seems to correlate with changing the number of exposures on the fly.

On 2 occasions the tracking acted up. Both times followed a slew - the telescope failed to stop at the target, and started drifting off to the east. I recovered by turning off the drives and the tracking, and then re-executing the slew.
