MDM Trouble Report for 2011 Nov 1

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Martini, Coker (OSU)
Instrument: R4K

Problem(s) Encountered:
Twice during the night the connection to the IC was lost, apparently due to a timeout. 
Once this happened while an exposure was in progress, but even though Prospero reported the IC link down the data were successfully written to disk. 
In both instances typing 'restart' in Prospero fixed the problem. No time was lost. 
Since we also noticed this a few times earlier in the run with OSMOS, this very minor nuisance may at least be worth keeping an eye on. 
It is also worthwhile to document this so other observers know what to do. 
I've added a note about this to the OSMOS troubleshooting section.
