At 08:15 UT the telescope lost the pointing.
The hand paddle buttons in the dome do not work correctly, they appear to be moving the telescope but the telescope has not movement. The message "slew active" is seen in the screen of the TCS computer. I turned off/on the drives switch in the TCS to be able to use the hand paddle again, this process was done several times. Finally, after of 1h45m, I could fix the pointing.
