• Autodome is acting out - initializing dome azimuth to telescope azimuth results in the dome moving from where we initialized it and not returning
• The dome as also making very odd sounds as we moved in manually via handpaddle
• NE infrared lights in the dome aren't turning off
• Daylight savings time has made it so the computer's internal clock and our telescope control systems don't accurately represent what is up in the sky. We attempted to change the internal clock - resulting in DFM's zenith position now being offset.
• SIMBAD is down
