MDM Trouble Report for 2011 Jun 24

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Thorstensen (Dartmouth)
Instrument: Modspec + Templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
The rotator froze while I was rotating the instrument manually.  

My finger had slipped off the button, and then I must have 
re-depressed the button at just the wrong time -- it wouldn't 
respond in either direction.

Easily fixed by power-cycling the rotator control box on the 
telescope (I also closed and re-started the GUI as per the
manual).

Moral seems to be to let it stop before re-starting.
