MDM Trouble Report for 2009 May 5

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Julie Skinner (Dartmouth College)
Instrument: Echelle

Problem(s) Encountered:
I had one problem with the Dec encoder.  The telescope would not properly set on the next object, but would just hang a few arcseconds away.
The DEC encoder not responding warning was flashing.  I did a shutdown of the relevant things on the TCS switch panel and that seemed to solve it.
Pointing was bit off after this, but nothing too severe.  The problem was solved within 5-10 min, so it did not greatly impact my observations.
