Log
- The south mirror door was the only one to open initially. Briefly jiggling the north door motor opened it and the other doors followed.
- Auto dome was not working correctly at first but worked after slewing to zenith and restarting DFMTCS
- Pointing took hours. Started around 1530, attempted to locate Venus and Jupiter but never found either. Managed to point using astrometry at around 1820 and successfully located Venus.
- Mirror door issue persisted after changing the instrument.
