MDM Trouble Report for 2005 May 19

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Bonfield, Schawinski (Oxford)
Instrument: TIFKAM

Problem(s) Encountered:
Focus buttons on paddle suddenly stopped working.  Also, TCS gave
error message 'DEC encoder not responding', although the telescope
pointing still seemed to be working, as we were able to point it to 
zentith and shut it down as per the normal nightly procedure.  

When restarted, the focus buttons worked again.  Then they stopped 
working when tracking was turned on.  We turned the tracking off and 
back on again and then everything seemed to be working ok.  

All now seems fine....
