MDM Trouble Report for 2007 Apr 1

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): chris peters (dartmouth college)
Instrument: echelle + modspec

Problem(s) Encountered:
Beginning last night (30 March), the neon lamp was dying, evident from the 
comparison spectra. By the beginning of tonight, it was dead. 

This may make the wavelength calibration of the twilight 
spectra difficult (but won't affect the night spectra due to 
wavelength calibration by night-sky lines). However, the Xenon 
lamp may be sufficient to fill in the gap left by the 
missing Neon to get through these last 2 nights.
