Problems:
06:50 UT Fails to start 1155 (eta Car 240s) BUT green log reports like it is running while on CHIRON optGUI exposure time did not start. Rebooted CHIRON OPTGUI, ok.
Something similar happen to 1159 plus, CHIRON seems "frozen", plus the "error sending object info to CLI". Reboot was 'not enough', it was needed to retry a number of times until exposure started (it might help to know if there is a low level way to start the exposure, so to circumvent the GUI.) This happens to sci objects, not to calibrations.

Printer-friendly version
At startup, TCS GUI answers very slowly, plus pointing wrong (Alpha Ori, degrees apart), Electronics David Rojas rebooted it and, it was NOT needed to fix the pointing (odd.)
