Observing Summary:

After a long slew the dome got stuck at about 60 degrees azimuth.
It started oscillating back and forth with about 10 degrees amplitude.
To stop it I shut auto-dome off, and hit the yellow auto enable button.
I brought the dome home manually turned everything back on and it
was fine for the rest of the night.
