MDM Trouble Report for 2010 Sep 19

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

Problem(s) Encountered:
In the evening, when we tried to open the OSMOS dark hatch, it would not open
all the way.  It would only smoothly open a quarter of the amount required to open
fully.  After spending some time on the phone with Paul Martini, we were essentially
able to force it open all the way.  

I am leaving the OSMOS hatch in the open position.  As per Paul, other observers should do the
same until the hatch mechanism can be fixed (in the near future).
