MDM Trouble Report for 2005 Jun 24

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): J. Thorstensen, H. Sheets (Dartmouth)
Instrument: Dartmouth

Problem(s) Encountered:
We went after a target at -32 degrees dec and couldn't find it, 
and when we went back north we still couldn't find anything.  So 
we reset the coordinates using the zenith tilt meters, and all
was well.  We then went back after the -32 degree target and
found it fine, so the problem seems intermittent.

Darrent Depoy had noticed that the tilt meters are a out a bit.
They read -0.19 and +0.04 respectively when the telescope is in 
the zenith.  Fortunately I'd made a note of this so I accounted
for it and found a bright star easily.
