MDM Trouble Report for 2013 Mar 11

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Kay & Moran (Columbia)
Instrument: templeton direct

Problem(s) Encountered:
Lost two pretty long exposures of a single object near the middle
of the night due to the nodding problem.  Stars were elongated
in one of the images; in the other stars were double, as if the
telescope moved once (in both RA and Dec) -- but not so far that
the guide star was lost.  The object was close to the zenith when
this happened (Dec = +27).  But otherwise all worked well.
