Again: Last Asyn/Error messages like "BAROMETER 78.2440 warning". Detector in 'table_summary', all is green.  

Around 22:57CLT lost ZP? no, was ok. Someway the telescope moved away to W/NW. Target was HIP108870 and coordinates were OK according to CDS. Lost 10 minutes checking.

Used Chandra tool to precess coordinates of Ross 376 to current position in J2024.5 ... and apparently it worked! Thanks Chandra!

Completed the program with the Sun at -8.6 degrees of altitude
