MDM Trouble Report for 2010 Jun 30

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Tobin and Hsu (Michigan)
Instrument: TIFKAM

Problem(s) Encountered:
Around 0315 the image quality went really bad, we initially thought
it was seeing since clouds were in the area of the target.
Upon trying to refocus the image showed the 
characteristic triangular shape of the air bags deflating. The
mirror support PC never set off an alarm, however the total forces
were substantially lower than the mirror support manual shows.
We then stopped the telescope in-place and closed for the night.

We attempted one fix, exited the mirror support program using qq, 
and then rebooted the computer. The support system still read the
hard points around 80 - 90 and the bags have negative pressure and
all the bags have  MORE  below them.
