Comments: 

This afternoon David Rojas, Esteban Parkes (video call) and I checked the mount and the motor of the telescope in order to find the problems detected last nights with the tracking. After of several tests, we found a problem with the balance in RA. We moved the counterweight of the mount to the west until the tracking problem was corrected. During tonight observations the tracking worked properly.
