MDM Trouble Report for 2007 Jan 2

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): K. Schlesinger (OSU)
Instrument: CCDCOM

Problem(s) Encountered:
We initially had problems with the sizes of the two new filters for
the 4in filter wheel. They were too large and prevented the wheel 
from turning well. Bob and Steve did some small modifications and 
determined that as long as you went one by one from filter to filter 
in the same direction, everything would be fine. After this was resolved 
we had problems pointing the telescope, most likely due to the fact 
that something was obscuring the middle of the CCD chip. Neither 
the guider nor RETROCAM were responsible for this. We reinitialized 
the filter wheel and moved RETROCAM and the guider in and out 
several times, which solved the mysterious obscuration problem.
The hours lost were due to the obscuration problem, not the filter 
wheel problem.
