Pointing errors far to the north
Friday, January 17, 2025 7:31 AM
Problem(s) Encountered:
I tried moving with commands from the MDM13 control system - point ra=10:01:33 dec=+74:24:45 , or actually the J2025 coords, since the TCS lives in the present -- and got a POINT error briefly in the status page,
Error point illegal Dec90
and when I played around with it and tried something a bit farther north still, Error point illegal Dec91 .
Solution:
I forced a re-initialization of the encoders and tested successful to dec +80.
