MDM Trouble Report for 2002 Dec 9

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Scott Gaudi (IAS)
Instrument: 8K

Problem(s) Encountered:
Clouds early, so opened up about 2 hours after dark.  When trying to point the telescope, I found that the binned-8 mosaic images read all zero's. I thought this may be a problem with the instrument, so I turned off and on the  Slave  and  Master  boxes.  This didn't fix it, and so I turned off the boxes, and hit the reset buttons at the back of Vesuvius.  This didn't fix it either, so I turned off the boxed and rebooted Vesuvius.  This didn't work either, so I called Chris.  He told me that this only affectd the binned mosaic image, which turned out to be correct.  So, I continued with observations.  All told, I lost about 45 minutes. Problem still there last time I checked.
