MDM Trouble Report for 2006 Aug 19

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): S. Lepine (AMNH)
Instrument: Direct + Echelle

Problem(s) Encountered:
John Thorstensen noticed that some exposures I took last night
in what I thought was the V-band were really taken with the
R filter. I made test exposures in different filters, only to
notice that I couldn't get to the V filter (position 3). Starting
from positions 5 or 6, clicking of the V filter in the xmis
widget would actually put in the R band filter (position 4)
although the widget would show the V filter as active.

I eventually managed to get the V filter from positions 5 or 6 by 
first selecting the B filter (moving to position 2), and then 
selecting V.
