MDM Trouble Report for 2012 May 11

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Barr (MDM)
Instrument: Direct 4K

Problem(s) Encountered:
This is not a trouble report just information.

This is the easiest way to get info to the institutions,

May 11 the 2.4m was put back into operation after the primary mirror 
was aluminized. The primary was collimated ( well partially), I still need to touch up
some but a jam nut wrench will need to be made.  The images look to be ok when 
focused up .
So rather than have Idan lose a lot more time and some of his objects were close to 
setting I stopped at 2115 but will need to finish up.
Helped Idan get setup with pointing, focusing and showed him things about
the guider. I will attempt to finish up collimation next week but for now Idan can work.

Thanks to Tony for staying and helping me install the primary baffling .
