0072-0074 are junk - still taking data although configuring for transform

11:45 Configuring for L1 transform data collection. Changed LZP and stopped/started PCS.

Stone_E was too low, but Stone_I was OK. Decided on Stone_I_m93.list with FeII and exptime=4 since the on-axis star is bright. But while collimating, the preset was canceled. It looks like the AZ torques were railed. There is a problem with the AZ frame.

No useful data were taken for the L1 transform and AGw4 problems prevented even attempting the L2 transform confirmation.
