Dec Jump

Tuesday, March 20, 2018 1:08 PM

Problem(s) Encountered:

Telescope appears to have jumped in DEC during a long exposure. Guiding was not lost during the exposure but all the stars were doubled. Happened when the telescope was between HA=-1:40 and HA=-1:20 at about 11:30pm local time. Repeated the observation and the problem did not occur again for the rest of night.
