MDM Trouble Report for 2013 Nov 15

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Demitri Muna (Ohio State University)
Instrument: OSMOS

Problem(s) Encountered:
No hours were lost due to bad weather, but were unable to even take a good
flat or arc calibration.

The flats didn't look good; they kept coming out such that the upper left corner
of the field is much brighter, dropping to the same level as a bias in the lower right.
I took a Xe comp, and the lines were 90° from
what was expected.

Executing  mirror out  leaves the mirror status in Prospero stuck on  MOVING 
occasionally as well, eventually moving back to  IN  or  OUT .

Got en error when executing  call roi4x1k :

WARNING: Region-of-interest has been modified to maintain symmetry around CCD centerline. ACQTAG=OSMOS.19800104032320
 Error: Command returned error
WARNING: Region-of-interest has been modified to maintain symmetry around CCD centerline. ACQTAG=OSMOS.19800104032320
 Subroutine stack Line number:
 PROSPERO          0
 roi4x1k           6
 Execution error in line  6
 Command: ic 'ROI 1 4096 1525 2572 ON' silent

This error killed the script from which it was called. The ROI was actually changed
despite the error. Around 22:15 we closed down all the software and restarted
everything, but this didn't have any improvement.

Unable to get a proper flat or comp, called it a night at midnight. Dewar was refilled
at 05:10.
