ENR CTIO 1.5-m 2019-08-20

Date: 
Tuesday, August 20, 2019
Telescope: 
CTIO 1.5-m
Submitter: 
Roberto Aviles
Submitter Email: 
raviles@ctio.noao.edu
Observer Support: 
None
Night Assistant: 
None
Problems: 

01:24 UT Telescope fails to reach target. It stop in a near DEC position but it keeps slowly going beyond target in RA. As reported previously, the solution is to stop the slewing and re send it. Apparently it only happens while sending the telescope to "extreme" positions, N or S. It does not seems to be balance, in any other times, tracking and guiding are quite stable.
