MDM Trouble Report for 2005 Oct 24

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Eastman (OSU)
Instrument: CCDS + Retrocam

Problem(s) Encountered:
The dark hatch closed twice during slews.

Everything was working fine for the sky flats, but after I slewed to the first object, I noticed all the retrocam images just looked like darks. I called Bob, who walked me through a few things and then told me to check the dark hatch. When I went to check it, the knob was still in the  open  position. I closed and reopened it and everything worked fine, but when I moved to the next object, the dark hatch closed again. I opened and closed the dark hatch again and it didn't happen again.
