ENR CTIO 1.5-m 2020-12-06

Date: 
Sunday, December 6, 2020
Telescope: 
CTIO 1.5-m
Submitter: 
Roberto Aviles
Submitter Email: 
raviles@ctio.noao.edu
Observer Support: 
None
Night Assistant: 
None
Problems: 

At the beginning of the night, sent the 'c' command to point a bright star near the zenith BUT, the  telescope reached the South limit and after that it did not answer to hand paddle commands in Declination, it only moved in RA. 
Javier Rojas rebooted Heurikon, which allowed to recover the movement of the telescope BUT, it was found that the Declination  data is NOT being updated. This is a major issue. Currently, the TCS is OFF.
