This isn't a problem if it only happens at an altitude of 90, but could be if it happens at 85. During the afternoon check, see if the error occurs for elevations less than 90. Some sequence like 80, 85, 87, 88, 89 should fairly quickly determine where the actuator position hits the limit. It might be good to try both spectro and imager instrument settings. However it should be fairly insensitive to that change as the offending actuator is transverse ( it would only be an issue if the transverse limits were a function of axial position ). Cheers, Dan Below are TCC log excerpts showing that each time the error appears the telescope is at instrument change. 2004-09-12 02:38:39.537Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 02:38:41.750Z 0 0 I TCCStatus="SSS","NNN"; TCCPos=121.00,90.00,0.00; AxePos=279.61,63.23,113.41 2004-09-12 02:39:39.517Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 02:39:53.935Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 03:51:46.011Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 03:51:47.714Z 0 0 I TCCStatus="SSS","NNN"; TCCPos=121.00,90.00,0.00; AxePos=261.83,47.01,107.58 2004-09-12 03:52:45.911Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 10:26:30.086Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 10:26:38.596Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 10:27:38.591Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 10:28:38.592Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 10:28:38.782Z 0 0 I TCCStatus="SSS","NNN"; TCCPos=121.00,90.00,0.00; AxePos=121.00,90.00,0.00 2004-09-12 11:43:29.058Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 11:44:29.036Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 11:45:29.037Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 11:46:29.037Z 0 0 F SecDesMountOutOfRange="FFFTF" 2004-09-12 11:46:58.706Z 0 0 I TCCStatus="SSS","NNN"; TCCPos=121.00,30.00,0.00; AxePos=121.00,85.11,0.00
