We finally opened around 20:00. While closing up the telescope, slewing to park, I noticed this error come thru 2020-03-05 12:49:38 .tcc.0 0 tcc W Text="Device Command A=-3560379; B=-4898684; C=-1830748; XQ #MOVE Failing: ?-003595328, -004919595, -001821951 final position" 2020-03-05 12:49:38 .tcc.0 0 tcc w Text="Collimation Failure: ?-003595328, -004919595, -001821951 final position" No problems tonight.
