Log

  1. Went through the start up procedure.
  2. Due to open house, dome door and hatch were left open, and the fans were left off.
  3. Tours happened for open house.
  4. Pointed at Polaris and HD 96833 and used next object position.
    1. We encountered problems when pointing to other objects the on axis camera(ASI 432mm) was not aligned.
  5. Sharcap crashed each time an attempt was made to run two windows at the same time.
    1. This occurred for both 4.0 and 4.1 versions.
    2. Each crash resulted in the finder scope camera(ASI 2600) disconnecting.
    3. We had to unplug it then plug it back in to get it to reconnect.
