Problems: 

A TCS related coomputer crashed early in the night, and several computers were rebooted to recover (all handled by telops).  During this problem, the telescope was pointing very close to the moon (but not exposing), and at first we though this was related, but telops says that this was a coincidence. I do not understand how it got to be pointing so close to the moon.
