MDM Trouble Report for 2009 Apr 29

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

Problem(s) Encountered:
More trouble with the Declination motion in guiding mode, 
which was often jerky instead of smooth. On many targets,
while guiding, the telescope would oscillate between
two positions in Decl. about 3-5 arcsec apart, with a few
occasional large 10-20 arcsec jumps. Possibly some 
friction/lubrication issues?
