MDM Trouble Report for 2009 Oct 15

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Dane Owen (Dart.)
Instrument: 4K

Problem(s) Encountered:
The  wobble  in the Dec. axis persists. It causes the telescope to jerk between two points about 4 arc seconds apart, leading to a blurry image. I tested targets at different RA and Dec. and found the same problem. Dec. guidance corrections exacerbate the problem. At about 1 am, the problem disappeared (this is about 2 hours later than it disappeared last night).
