Drive Times Seem Too Long

Your source may be at the zenith or the antenna drives may be at their azimuth wrap limits

ACC failures are also a possibility Or consult the Duty Astronomer.



CHECK to see if you are actually on source:

 $>$ /obs  In CAMON. This shows your on source status.  

If the turret is in the wrong position this is also an indication you are off source. As the turret only rotates after you reach the source, if you are using SCHED scanning mode sctyp DWELL.

If still in doubt, call your Duty Astronomer.
