 =====Notes===== =====Notes=====
 +  - North Mirror Door Assembly was misbehaving (not closing when asked by DFM TCS)
 +      - Onkar reported high-pitched noise from motor assembly when closing
 +      - We were able to force all doors closed
 +      - Then they opened and closed successfully, with North slightly slower
 +      - Onkar will investigate tomorrow (Thurs)
 +  - TS6 did not take the scope to zenith -- it was about $10^\circ$ off of zenith
 +      - We were able to get DFM TCS to move the scope to zenith
 +      - Telescope > Movement > Offset/Zenith > Set Zenith Position (hit Apply) > then "Start Slew"
