ENR CTIO 0.9-m 2022-06-15

Wednesday, June 15, 2022
Telescope: 
CTIO 0.9-m
Submitter: 
Roberto Aviles
Submitter Email:

Observer Support: 
None
Night Assistant: 
None
Problems: 

Lost the night: The SMC (System Motor Controller?) failed, which was reported in the 'Last Async / Error' window as a problem with the filter wheel. H. Orrego will work on the SMC box in the morning.

I will appreciate if you can check the telescope finder or let me know how to get a stable image: after focusing the finder I cannot see a 'stable' image of the crosshair, all of which makes the pointing harder. Thanks in advance.

The dewar was refilled ~ 1 AM.
