MDM Trouble Report for 2012 Jan 4

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Grier (OSU)
Instrument: CCDS

Problem(s) Encountered:
I tried to run a prospero script and got the error message
 MDM TCS Link not enabled  and it pooped out on me. I did a 
telescope stop and start but when I did a telescope status again, 
the rslit was listed as  not running  and I was unable to get 
that fixed at all. Anyway, this didn't work, so I then tried running 
 telinit  and  startup  in prospero and that seemed to work and it was allowing 
me to issue commands again. I then discovered 
that I had lost pointing, so I had to re-home the telescope and 
redo my pointing. Jskycalc also had to be restarted, but that was 
sort of expected. It took me about 45 minutes to get everything b
back up and make sure it was all going to function. 

I was able to get everything working again, but still when I 
do a  telescope status , the rslit says it is not running, so I'm 
not sure what needs to be done about that. 

Also, that N-S oscillation is pretty bad at times!
