MDM Trouble Report for 2019 Jun 09

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Ryan Chornock (Ohio University)
Instrument: Templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
I had to power cycle the Dec controller at the very beginning of the night. When I first opened up, I couldn't get the tracking to work or make the telescope slew to any targets. I manually tested the telescope movement using the  point  command and found that I could move in HA but not Dec. I ran down to the 1.3m and sure enough the red LCD display had an error, so I power cycled the Dec controller and then everything worked. 
I only lost 20 minutes of twilight flat time, but I was fortunate to be on the mountain myself to fix it right away.
