MDM Trouble Report for 2016 Nov 03

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Baldassare (University of MIchigan)
Instrument: OSMOS-B

Problem(s) Encountered:
The first issue was that the instrument rotator failed (i.e., the hand paddle in the dome didn't work). 
I came inside and tried to issue a command for a small rotation through the GUI, which also failed 
and sent up an error message that the mirror covers were closed. 
I verified that the mirror covers were indeed all open. 
As in http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~martini/osmos/rotator.html, I turned 
the power on the rotator box off and on and restarted the GUI. The rotator still didn't 
work and gave the same error message. I thought I would close and open the mirrors 
again, so I stowed the telescope, and closed the mirror covers. However, they would 
not open again when I flipped the switch. Not sure what else I can do, but at least this happened at 4 a.m.
