Congrats on getting the pointing model.
The following is a known problem that started last dark run and can
be easily fixed by setting the telescope date. The long-term fix
should be addressed by the site DIMM expert.  I would consult with
the engineering crew about replacing any back-up batteries in the
Meade. It sounds like it is losing the date and time when it is
powered off.
