MDM Trouble Report for 2005 Aug 25

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

Problem(s) Encountered:
Instrument shutter is stuck in the open position.
I would prefer a 2  filter wheel for continuity of
the filter set including H-alpha.  But if it is 
impossible to get that shutter working, then I could 
make do with the new 4  filter wheel.

The telescope has the usual problem with guide and set
motion in the N-S direction when at large zenith
angle.  Occasionally had to acquire a target with
the slew button.

The  mouth  of the dome air conditioning duct has trouble
staying open.
