 +0233 - Started slewing to Beta cep when it was at 24 alt but then decided not to take the risk capturing it and slewed to zenith position by clicking at the center point of the sky6, At first it moved but then stuck at some point moving to zenith

Check that your image is well exposed without the stretch or you might end up with very dark captured images. -- It is showing this message in the NUC Sharpcap while capturing epsilon cas 18:37 - You have started capturing at short exposures with a strong display stretch applied.

 +02:33 - We slewed to beta cep which was at 24 and decided it was too low and then decided to slew to near zenith to move off of it while were we deciding on the next capture. While slewing to zenith the telescope stopped moving and is stuck. Specifically slewed to a position at alt of 84. When clicking on the telescopes current position it says alt of 14
 +03:05 - We called Sam for help and decided to push the telescope up using the ladder and hand paddle in the dorm and it worked, We moved the telescope back to zenith position.(guided by Sam through FaceTime)
