MDM Trouble Report for 2013 Feb 07

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Kay,Moran (Columbia)
Instrument: Templeton direct

Problem(s) Encountered:
At beginning of night, oddly bad tracking, even in very short 
exposure, wiggly streaking in RA and Dec, not constant. At this 
time moving with computer paddle would send the telescope to the 
expected place sometimes but sometimes not, eg moving in both
axes when we only directed in one. First few attempts at 
autoguiding also showed stars bouncing all over (in Expose mode).
But then it stabilized and worked. 

At 4 AM, `EXPOSE' stopped working. OWL log says its not connected
to device. Closed OWL and brought it back up, no difference. 
Shut down at 4:50 AM.
