MDM Trouble Report for 2001 May 13

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Fenton (Dartmouth)
Instrument: modspec/echelle

Problem(s) Encountered:
I noticed after some clouds moved out that the telescope was no 
longer tracking.  The green GO light on the TCS was off.  
I could get it to come back on by holding the green START button, 
but when the start button was released the GO button turned off.
The telescope was at an hour angle less than three, pointed towards
the southwest.  There were no limits warnings on the TCS.  I held the START
button down and moved the telescope to zenith and tried again.
I raised and lowered the platform and tried again.  I shut down the TCS
computer and power supply, turned the power supply back on, rebooted
 and tried again.  Nothing worked.  
The telescope is now home, mirror covered, dome closed.
