Telescope had difficulties boresight guiding around Az 8, Alt 47. I had to manually correct the drift. The last time I saw this we had some error built up in the drives, but I couldn't slew to correct since we were in the middle of a long integration exposure. The ctrl+click bug seem to be back again tonight as well.
