Callibration

TLDR; Don't use the tcsglue to calibrate do it manually.

The calibration routine for both the azimuth axis and the derotator are not functioning. This should not cause any problems, as long as you check and/or align manually.

→ Do not move the derotator. Rather, carefully note its position in case you need to return it to that position (emergency stop, for instance). The correct position is shown in the image below.

→ Check for precise alignment of indicating arrows (on red labels) at the base of the telescope. If they are not lined up, line them up carefully after you've started the hydrostatic bearing.
