Log
19:00 Started setting up the dome NUC is not working and power control site is down.
Couldn't able to focus in the NUC
we are currently looking at arcturus and it should be in the main scope, it is there but very unfocused even at the same focus it was at last week we tried changing the focus both up and down but it didn't help too much and dfm tcs stops focusing at the limits of 2700 and 2118
its looks better at 2700 but it shouldn't be that off from the previous time we used PICSARR and it is still entirely blown out changing the focus in initialization in tcs set it at 2000 but we were not able to decrease the focus even if it was increased in both tcs and the hand paddle. That leads us to believe there is a physical problem with telescope. From here we are going to do shutdown procedures to wait for guidance from engineering team.
