MDM Trouble Report for 2004 Jul 1

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Marshall (OSU)
Instrument: CCDS

Problem(s) Encountered:
I will repeat my summary from the nightly report:

The only problem I had was 
with the pointing of the telescope: at certain ha and decs 
(most noticeably at ha=0 and dec=-15) the telescope had a huge 
amount of E-W wobble (about an arcmin)
 and in a few cases I couldn't get it to stay pointed at 
the target long enough to take an image.  Also, on almost every 
target (regardless of location in the sky) the telescope jerks 
the star W out of the slit (by only a few arcsecs) after 
it is positioned with the hand paddle, but then calms down once 
the guider is turned on.
