I let the dome running tonight on another run for NGC 5985, the galaxy line in Draco. Whilst I captured 60 images at 300s, quite a few of them were obscured by the dome which was caused by the dome being misaligned. I need to relook at why this is. Is the dome slipping? Is the dome at 1x sidereal rate, operated from the controller within the dome without a computer input somehow not tracking at the correct rate? I will investigate.
