Comments: 

Program completed!

LHA120-S44_28 observed against wind of 7m/s at the beginning, the guiding star wobbled a bit.

HIP49442 has a close companion, unable to guide with it and no other suitable star, so I guided manually.

Upgrade: we can now initialize the dome from the control room! Many thanks to electronics.

BTW so far the telescope's pointing has been great, I think I'm starting to get along with the 1.5m.
