MDM Trouble Report for 2009 Jan 16

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Paglione, Hunt-Walker (Liu) (CUNY)
Instrument: Templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
Near the end of the night between sources (that is, not during 
any command or procedure), the connection to Hill cut off and we 
lost control of the telescope.  TCS said socket disconnect and in
the terminal, telescope status hung or said there was no access to
the port.  We already had dome flats, so after logging out and back
in without luck, we just shut down the observatory: homed & closed 
the dome, covered the mirror, closed the dark hatch, filled the 
dewar, etc.  We just couldn't stow the 1.3m.
