MDM Trouble Report for 2004 Sep 11

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Zosia Krusberg (Dartmouth College)
Instrument: Templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
On several occasions throughout the night, the guiding would 
stop working as the telescope seemed to drift very slightly in
declination.  This ruined a couple of 30 min exposures, as well 
as several shorter ones.  In order to overcome this problem I
attempted to move the telescope in dec, then back to original
place, which did allow me to proceed.  However, this may just as
well have been luck, as the problem appeared and disappeared
quite sporadically.

Other than that, the airconditioning doesn't seem to be working.
