MDM Trouble Report for 2018 Feb 06

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Douglas, Weaver, Carmichael (Columbia)
Instrument: OSMOS/R

Problem(s) Encountered:
The guide probe misbehaved a lot at the beginning of the night. We had to 
restart it before even going on sky (we tested sending it to center and then 
origin, and it got stuck). When we went on sky it *seemed* ok as far as the 
workstation GUIs were concerned - JSkyCalc was reading the position and it
went to origin and center consistently, but when trying to get a guide star it was 
horrifically off. Even if we sent the probe to center, lined up the telescope on a 
bright star, then moved to a guide star, the probe was off again. And we were at
X<<10000. Eventually we restarted the MIS again and things were fine after that. 

We may also have had a pointing issue but it's degenerate with the guiding issue.

Once again the dome got stuck at Az~270 at the end of the night.
