Log
-when starting up the telescope was very not at zenith, and when checking the control computer shutdown procedure was not followed
-so tracking, drives, motor driver chassis and halt motors where on and out but the telescope would not move
-shut down correctly and restarted but to no avail
-because telescope was at limit no commands were getting to the motors
-set up steppladder and pushed on the telescope while slewing in the southbound direction to get it out of limit
-once out of limit could use hand paddle to get it to zenith and confirmed position in TCS
-tried to open mirror doors but only south opened repeated opening several times on the control computer and tried it manually still stuck so decided to pack it in -
