MDM Trouble Report for 2012 May 31

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

Problem(s) Encountered:
On two occasions during the pointing test, the telescope hung
up on the way to a target (not during the last bit of centering). 
Both were at fairly extreme positions but outside the limits.  The
first time it hung at 5h31m w at +29, while trying to get to 
a target still farthe west.  The second time it hung at 1h56m W 
at dec = -31, again trying to go farther west.  It's probably not 
worth trying to diagnose these right now.

Also, at the end of the night, the rotator would not respond and 
required power cycling.
