MDM Trouble Report for 2004 Mar 17

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Javier Alonso (University of Michigan)
Instrument: 8k

Problem(s) Encountered:
The 8k gave problems and had to be reset at least 5 times tonight. The messages I was receiving were:
no response from @nd utility board(lub1 PON)
'cmd lub1 PON' failed
can't communicate with 2nd timing board; not downloading DSP mode
Maybe I should mention here that the problems with the camera usually started when I was trying to look to objects with high airmasses (airmass~2.0 or bigger)
