MDM Trouble Report for 2014 May 31

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Stevens/Mosquera (OSU)
Instrument: CCDS

Problem(s) Encountered:
When observing target PG1244, encountered strong
N-S amplitude oscillations (HA 2:04, dec 44:31:53), so could not
focus. Moved to n5548. Went back to PG1244 afterwards, but the NS
amplitudes persisted and we could not get target into slit. Had to
skip altogether.

Small NS amplitude oscillations when observing Hz44 (HA 2:50, dec
2:15:37) but were able to get into slit and guide without incident.

Small amplitude NS oscillations when observing mrk668. Lost guiding
with 200s left during second exposure; target stayed in slit but
star in field of view exhibited very strong NS oscillations
(HA 2:49, dec 28:23:18). Oscillations were too strong and lost
guiding completely when trying to get third exposure; had to abort.
