MDM Trouble Report for 2006 Oct 27

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): J. Davies and R. Taylor (Cardiff University)
Instrument: 8K

Problem(s) Encountered:
We started off OK, got pointing and focus sorted out, but then 
had problems with communications to 'the second
timing board'. Phoned Bob and he went through some things and it went away.
The problem returned at 12.15 and we went through the same proceedure
as before, but could not get it to function. We thought it too late to 
phone so had no option but to close, very frustrating. We also had a problem with disc space
we again phoned Bob who said it was a problem he would have to sort out in the
morning. In
the mean time we could copy data elsewhere.
