Around 17:00, Rémi arrived. We showed him the house, and the observatory and had dinner together. Tomorrow will be the day when we teach him how to drive the telescope.
But meanwhile, we noticed a problem in the telescope mount, that did not loosen the Right-Ascension axis as it should. If this is not fixed soon, it severely affects pointing the telescope. The mechanic will go there tomorrow morning to take a look at it.
My 28th day at the observatory marks what was supposed to be the last day here under our "lead". But with Rémi having arrived late due to canceled flights, tomorrow will still be a learning day for him. But tomorrow will be the last complete day of team #3 in Tenerife. Tuesday, team #3 will leave Rémi alone at the observatory, and take the plane back to Portugal.
