MDM Trouble Report for 2007 May 17

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Pereira, Tonnesen (Columbia)
Instrument: 8k

Problem(s) Encountered:
Halfway through the night, the telescope started behaving strangely:
Every time we would offset to a new pointing, it would oscillate around the pointing 
for a few seconds, before settling down. Wobbling happened sometimes in E-W, N-S and 
sometimes both directions at once in a circle. Didn't affect our observations though.

Also,when we were shutting down at dawn, after pof the detcom complained that there 
was no response from utility board 1. We tried cycling through the power supplies, but
more error messages ensued. We left the messages up on the detcom window.
