MDM Trouble Report for 2011 Jun 27

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Jules Halpern (Columbia)
Instrument: Templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
The usual problem, telescope dithers frequently
in N-S direction, whether it is guiding or not.

A pattern noise on Templeton makes it impossible to work
on faint objects.  I tried the reset button on the CCD
electronics and recycling the CCD power supply, but this
resulted in a loss of communication:
  Error in download -4
  (camera not responding)
Could not read back format from camera
After numerous tries, I gave up.
