| - | Bill provided some additional information about the telescope error described above. The telescope control system is throwing an error as it is slewing in the azimuth direction when it crosses the next magna sensor. It is unclear whether something has gradually changed over the years such that we need to open up the limit for that error (currently it is deemed to be too large, which is causing the issue), or whether there is some kind of hardware problem. This is still under investigation. It happens when telescope is tracking or slewing, but only in the azimuth direction. The pointing error is arcseconds in size. | + | Bill provided some additional information about the telescope error described above.
