Software/Control PC Issues
Observation night: [22:02 - 10:00 UT]. Objects observed: Satellites trails, NGC 5236 and TOI-307 transit. The ACE interface clock is advanced by about 2 seconds. This had an impact on the predictions of satellite positions at night. On the other hand, the camera computer still does not have Internet access.
