MDM Trouble Report for 2008 Feb 6

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Nathan Crockett and John Tobin (University of Michigan)
Instrument: 8K

Problem(s) Encountered:
We had difficulty with the filter wheel. It would often take us 
approximately 10 minutes to change from one filter to the other 
(say from U to B). The problem was worst changing from I to Rj 
and Rj to U. We repeatedy had to issue the filter command to get 
the filter to change. We were sure to always go in the same 
direction; however, the problem persisted all night. We noticed 
that when changing filters the pop up window always read the 
filter position at -2.
