Telescope Motion Failure

Monday, August 22, 2016 9:19 AM

Problem(s) Encountered:

At the beginning, the telescope did not move.


Solutions:

Found that the dec motor showed  Error  sign. Cycled the power on the dec drives and it worked. This is a simple fix, but observers should be shown where to cycle power for the dec drive.  It is located in the RA gear house, at the base of the telescope polar axis assembly and access through a port on the south side.
