No real problems but telescope did unexpectedly stop tracking at one point for unknown reasons. I was able to turn tracking back on and had no other issues for the rest of the night. Exoplanet.

Connection Issues
Left early while files transferred. Exited at 9 am. Used Andor on Camera computer, Telescope for pointing, filters, and times; but trying to operate from the telescope computer resulted in error message (as before). Set up observing plan with Student's project, but all of the Objects selected were too far north. Observed Proxima Centauri first; amazing star field. Will set up, with student, several acceptable Exoplanets in southern sky. At least I was able to use radmin after VPN.
