MDM Trouble Report for 2004 Nov 18

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Sheets (Dartmouth)
Instrument: mark III +  templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
I tried to switch to the wider field camera (the  finder  option
of the  camera selection ) to see if it made any difference in 
how I was seeing the field.  After I selected the finder camera,
I opened the  tv closed  window in xmis and tried to change to 
one of the filters.  I then brought another xterm to the front,
open skycalc, and when I went back to the xmis windows, they 
were blank.  Much as they appear now.  I tried following the 
instructions in the manual to kill the window, but  jobs  
produced no result, and  ps -x  gave me a usage error that I 
didn't know what to do with, so I decided to just walk away. 
Since I wasn't getting any data anyway, I wouldn't say this lost
me any time.
