MDM Trouble Report for 2017 Oct 20

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Fesen and Weil (Dartmouth)
Instrument: Echelle Direct

Problem(s) Encountered:
Dome rotation is still a problem. We carefully watched 
the dome azimuth and telescope azimuth to see the differences
between the two. When the telescope was at Dec+25 the dome 
could not keep up near HA=0. The difference reached +18 degrees. 
We then started to run manually, however at HA=1.5 hours the 
dome ran-away. The telescope azimuth was 254.5 and the dome went 
to 336.1 before turning around. This had happened earlier in the 
night however we did not right down the HA, or azimuths at that
time. 

At beginning of night telescope was not setting to objects, Damen
remotely patched the TCS which solved that problem.
