Software/Control PC Issues

Eclipsing binaries. Early on, within the first hour or so of tracking on a target tracking was lost and auto dome switched off, lost a few data points in eclipse egress. No other problems except focusing issues. Also, the first attempt to move the telescope continues to hang and needs to be told twice.

A bit of trailing issues. Tends to trail to the right and had to correct for trailing. Other than this, it was good.

Software/Control PC Issues

I am wrapping up and then started getting pop ups for anti virus software on the CCD Computer and the Telescope computer, I already wrote a report, but I have not seen this before and wanted to report this ASAP as I do not want to leave with potentially something harmful happening.

Dome Shutter view camera is still down, we used low light exposures to ensure that the dome was closed after observation and stowed the telescope.

AGN-ionized clouds. Focus 325500, guider focus -600. (Lost one hour to feline exposure interference; I had forgotten that touching any key during an exposure will abort it, so stacking other windows on top may be wise). Guider focus was not changing with JOG buttons, even after re-initializing (which left it at focus 32050).
