MDM Trouble Report for 2013 Sep 14

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): John Thorstensen (Dartmouth)
Instrument: modspec + templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
My first exposure of the night was blank, as were a couple of
short test shots after that.  I solved the problem by resetting
the controller, then running the setup to load the code into the
Leach cards, then setting my subarray.  Lost a few minutes.

Oh, and the rotator decided to do its wildly-high-rotator-angle
thing right when I needed it to work right as I chased an object
to a ludicrous airmass in the west.  This known anomaly clears
itself if you rotate back toward zero -- the numbers become
correct again.  Somewhere, deep within Lovell's code, there's
at least one bug.
