MDM Trouble Report for 2014 Apr 24

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Ana Mosquera (OSU)
Instrument: OSMOS

Problem(s) Encountered:
During the day the TCS computers weren't working (telescope 
and dome). Eric can provide more details about that.
They suddenly started working fine before the observing night, 
however I found several issues that could be related.

- I lost pointing. 

- The dome wasn't following the telescope properly. The offset 
wasn't too big, and it was  fixed  by moving the telescope to 
other object and then back.

- The guide selector (JSkyCalc) was behaving weird. It
was not responding to  move guide probe  most of the time.
(restarted it -- partially solved it)

- Prospero was behaving very weird as well. The prospero 
status window was without information continuously (ie totally 
black). I had to do  startup  many, many times. Each time 
I was giving a command, I lost the info in the status window.

- Guiding issues. The guiding star was drifting.
