MDM Trouble Report for 2002 Jan 19 Telescope: 1.3m Observer(s): Timothy Miller (Dartmouth College) Instrument: Templeton Direct Problem(s) Encountered: At roughly 11:00 pm, I noticed a ring-tailed cat had entered the computer room, presumably through the cable ducting that runs in from the dome. His presence caused no problems or interruptions, but startled me considerably. He's about the size of a common housecat, but with a slender body resembling a ferret, and has mustard yellow skin and a black-ringed tail. The ducting should probably be sealed to prevent him from making the computer room a permanent home. ------------------------------ Submitted on 2002 Jan 19 [5:25:03]
