MDM Trouble Report for 2016 Jan 30

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Nunez, Douglas (Columbia)
Instrument: ModSpec/Echelle

Problem(s) Encountered:
The problem from last night repeated itself twice, where the 
telescope jumped around and the mirror airbag forces fluctuated 
between 15-70. The first incident occurred close to the same time 
as it did last night - around 0730 UT. It subsided quickly and we
continued observing. The second time was around 1030 UT, and 
lasted for at least 30 seconds. We slewed back to zenith, turned 
off tracking and drives, and waited half an hour. After that it 
was fine.
