-The telescope will runaway and not stop if the TCS computer on the west side of the telescope mount dies while the telescope is moving. You MUST run over and hit the Emergency Stop button on the observatory control panel which will kill power to the RA and DEC drive motors stopping the motion. If this happens telescope pointing will be lost and you will have to preform a hardstow. See the section on Hard Stow to recover.+The telescope will runaway and not stop if the NGTCS computer (on the west side of the telescope mount) dies while the telescope is moving.
