MDM Trouble Report for 2003 Jun 7

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Halpern (Columbia)
Instrument: Templeton Direct

Problem(s) Encountered:
I'm getting more than the usual types of readout errors with
the CCD, with some other defects in the image that are hard to
describe, but look like numerous partially blocked columns
when the counts are high, as in flat fields.  It is not
seriously affecting observations, but after I have had
some sleep, and with more time to experiment in the afternoon,
I may try to reset or power down the CCD electronics and
maybe that will help.
