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