The problem is noted in the trouble report.

Otherwise, this went well.  The eyepiece worked nicely, the 
pointing was good and consistent, and the platform behave well.
The night was excellent and all visitors had a great time.

I note that one of the platform posts can impact the telescope
mount when the platform is near fully up.   It might be nice to
modify that post or move it if possible to so that cannot happen.
