MDM Trouble Report for 2007 Nov 10

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Sebastien Lepine (AMNH)
Instrument: MkIII + Wilburt

Problem(s) Encountered:
Around 11pm, when acquiring a new target (18th pointing of
the night), I noticed that the telescope would not set 
in RA. Guiding and tracking still worked, and slewing too. 
However after I slewed the telescope, the guiding in RA also 
suddenly stopped working. Then the telescope would also 
not set or guide in Decl. Thacking was still OK at this
point, but then I tried to power the console off, and as 
I repowered it on, tracking also no longer worked.

Right now the telescope can slew (in both RA and Decl), but 
cannot track, set, or guide. I can hear the set and guide 
motors running, but the telescope just doesn't move.
