Temperature

[droege@snapmail.us]

To add to my troubles with the phone company, TOM1 hung last night because
the v focus limit switch stopped working at low temperature.  This is a
problem that I have not seen before because I seldom move the focus motors
and then usually not early in the morning.

So there are some hardware problems to add to the software
mis-understandings that I am finding in Rob's code.

Things are really working very will.  There are a few bugs, but so far I
have been able to work around then since Rob has provided such a rich
array of commands that if one has a problem one can work around it with
other commands.

I am taking the effort to tune up everything as good as it is possible to
do.  I got 20 or so image pairs last night before the focus hung and this
is enough to make a second pass at the mount rotation.

I expect to be taking long data runs soon while tracking a star.  Then the
data will look better. (If it is really not better.)
