Productive night for asteroid photometry (two asteroids and other objects), thanks to Ken! Object requested appears south (by 3') of center. All else worked well. My mouse caught an edge which degraded the image I saw (not the original). Date above should be March 17, 2023.

Guide camera no is not even taking pictures for the guide camera to start. So guiding is not possible.

Connection Issues
Problem with guide camera persists. Taking an image with the guide camera shows an error. When the guide routine is started the error appears when started, but corrections are not recognized by the telescope.
