ENR CTIO Blanco 4-m 2024-08-18

Date: 
Sunday, August 18, 2024
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
Sean Points
Submitter Email:

Observer Support: 
Manuel Hernandez
Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Also Present: 
Sean Points, Rodrigo Hernandez
Problems: 

Encountered problem with telescope slew executing while observation started.  Offset slew should complete before the next exposure starts in exposure scripts.  There appears to be a problem with commands hanging in the TCS.

 

Comments: 

Weathered out during first quarter.

Would appreciate if it were possible to use VNC to observe.  There are significant latency and resolution issues with observing over Zoom.
