MDM Trouble Report for 2013 May 06

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Jenna Lemonias, Steven Mohammed (Columbia)
Instrument: CCDS

Problem(s) Encountered:
We set up the instrument and got some calibrations but were unable to take any science images.
We think the pointing might be off but we reset the pointing from the zenith and that did not help.
We were not able to find any of our science images.
The CCDS Acquisition Camera yielded some confusing images: close to zenith,
the images were dark as one would expect.  When we pointed at what we thought were our
science targets, the images were lighter than we expected as if there were
some interfering light, but we couldn't find any source of light in the dome.
I will email Eric pictures.  These problems were not solved by the end of the night.
