Software/Control PC Issues
Time series photometry of white dwarfs. Seeing was moderately poor east of meridian but okay west. Focus mechanism worked fine, focus around 124000. 1000 unit jumps able to get achieve optimum focus. Accessed through Radmin VPN and screen transfer was very slow. Didn't try Real VNC.
