It transpires that the dome will not follow the telescope if one tries to point using the single-exposure input with SISPI. I do not know why this is the case and apologise for waking Omar because I thought something was wrong. The only way to make this happen is via a script which includes tracking=on for each call. There is an option in sispi to point with "HA w/trk" but it doesn't work, SISPI complains about bad coordinates.
4MAP died once slewing from one side of the sky to the other. No biggie.

The weather still sucks, but it's getting better. Unfortunately this means that instead of sticking your nose out of the door and seeing it's going to suck for the next 3 hours minimum, you have to look outside every half hour just in case. In between clouds, I was able to test the new 4MAP LUT provided by Aaron with two pointings (all-sky maps were impossible), comparing it to no LUT and the current LUT. Unless you squint hard they look about the same, which is probably a good thing, but we will need to crunch the data a bit to be sure.
