Safety

The issue of safety in case the telescope is controlled remotely was considered in more detail. The general objective is to build in specific protections in commands like moving the telescope that is given from the remote observing system, e.g., including a message asking the observers if they did contact the staff at the telescope, but this can also include all kinds of other alarms, actions, etc (e.g., an alarm bell plus a few seconds delay before executing the movement). One specific thing is that of remote access to the TCS when the remote observations have finished. Specifically, the TCS access code can now be changed at any time without the need of a reboot of the TCS.
