tcs problem to repond commands on image 249, the telescope doenst move to the target position (00:20 UTC)

lost 4map at 01:00 UTC; it appears that the tachometer is dirty.  Claudio went to clean it.

Comments: 

We encountered issues due to communication between our local consoles and the NEWFIRM GUI over Zoom, in particular for executing our control scripts and reading the feedback in the GUI.  It would be much preferable to use NEWFIRM directly over a VPN/VNC as opposed to Zoom.
