More Tracking Woes

Wednesday, November 1, 2017 2:31 PM

Problem(s) Encountered:

Telescope stopped tracking and could not be fixed for at least

a couple of hours.  Stop and start TCS didn''t fix it.  Then it

spontaneously started working again.


Solutions:

This issue seems like it may be limited to a specific orientation on-sky.  Specifically, it has happened with some repeatability around HA=-04:56/Dec=53.  Of course, when trying to watch for anything odd on motor pulses/signals, the problem did not occur.  It’s a kn own issue that we are scratching our heads over currently.
