. As you probably have seen, the star in my original image is not nova. When I looked images from others, I noticed, that the star which i marked for nova in my image, is really a very faint doublestar. After more processing for my original image and compared it with Lick Observatory discovery image the real nova is now excatly in the right place. (Sept 4th, 1998) Marko Moilanen .

... This could be a a/d input problem (the voltage divider resistor is wrong) or a real error with the tiedowns not moving as instructed. foldBack errors occur when the requested torques are above the allowable maximum for a period of time. ... The jack is not able to move at the requested speed because too much torque is required. ... Plotting the motor torque vs tiedown tension showed that td12 needed 4 to 10 times as much torque as the other two tiedowns for the same cable tension. ...
