ENR CTIO 1.5-m 2022-08-31

Date: 
Wednesday, August 31, 2022
Telescope: 
CTIO 1.5-m
Submitter: 
Rodrigo Hinojosa
Submitter Email: 
rodrigo.hinojosa@noirlab.edu
Observer Support: 
None
Night Assistant: 
Rodrigo Hinojosa
Problems: 

There is not connection of the NOS  with the GUI and TCS, I observed manually.

At the beginning of the night the TCS did not work at all, it was not possible to send any order to the telescope, at the moment there is not a clear reason of this issue. David Rojas and Rodrigo Hernandez checked the system, re-started the power cycle from the computer room, and then restarted the system from the control room. I re-aligned the dome and got a new pointing, about 45 minutes were lost fixing these issues. 

After of midnight there were problems with the connection between the GUI and TCS, missing information in the headers (RA, DEC, AIRMASS…) for some targets.
