MDM Trouble Report for 2012 May 17

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Gavin Ramsay (Armagh Observatory)
Instrument: MDM4k

Problem(s) Encountered:
When i tried to move the filter at the start of the night to do 
flats i found i couldnt change the filter. i tried reinitialing
the xmis but this didnt help. i then took the system down and up.
no fix. i phoned bob who suggested taking the blue internet 
lead going into the filter wheel. no joy. tried taking the system
down again etc. at the start of the night the filter wheel was 
noting the r filter so i tried taking an image. no stars in 
image. looks like filter wheel is stuck in an orientation such 
that its blocking the light. these things happen ...
