- The above shows the finder scope FoV with the target in the center of the FoV on the main scope - On Procyon PICSI2 gui is having difficulties opening and several times autoguiding has randomly lost the star - autoguiding fixed, the hall sensor on PICSI was dead, and subsequently replaced - Procyon capture taken, went to OJ 287 it is very dim - unable to verify we were seeing GrW +708247 so slew to MKN 431
