Log

  1. experienced Issues with Pointing
  2. took very long to point originally
  3. closed up, then went back to object (Mars) – was off by a few *degrees*
  4. repointed, then closed up again, then went back to Mars. Was still off, but only by a small amount (Mars was still in FoV).
  5. Roy thinks the issue is due to improperly disengaging tracking when stowing the telescope
