MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2021 Sep 27

Observer(s): Elisabeth Newton
Institution(s): Dartmouth College

Instrument: modspec

No Observing (see comments below)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Humidity all night.

Observing Summary:

Cloudy, clear for a frustratingly short time, cloudy, clear. 
Got error 'error dropleaf slit busy' upon trying to re-open. I
did telescope stop/start (although telescope status indicated 
everything was running) which fixed that. Completely lost point-
ing on re-opening, couldn't figure out how to offset the telesc-
ope to effect the left side tilt meter. Closed without solving 
this problem. On trying to close again, I ran 'tx dropleaf 
close' and got a  log message of 'done dropleaf cantopen=rain'. 
I restarted tcs following the troubleshooting and that worked. 
I wasn't able to get back on sky to fix the pointing due to
bad weather.
