MDM Trouble Report for 2002 Dec 29

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): De Jong (Kapteyn Institute Groningen)
Instrument: MDM8K

Problem(s) Encountered:
Telescope slipped in RA during exposure, maybe due to wind gusts?
Kept slipping, but after slewing to zenith and moving back, telescope seems to work fine.
During readout of exposure, communication with 2nd utility board of MDM8K is lost. I tried several things, switching camera on and off, rebooting vesuvius, but nothing helps. Gave up and closed at 5am.
