MDM Trouble Report for 2021 Jan 22

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Aylin Garcia Soto (Dartmouth College)
Instrument: MODSPEC

Problem(s) Encountered:
After taking skyflats, I tried to slew the telescope to a standard star that was pretty close to where the telescope was pointing. However, I received a slew error and the tracking turned itself off. I called Katie Weil and she told me to reset Jskycalc and try again but that didn't work. She also told me to turn the tracking off (after I flipped it back on) and move the telescope to the zenith. I then I emailed Eric and he took control and figured out that the dec drive needs to be reset. I then started the shutting procedure and was able to close the dome, but it seems that the rain detectors are a bit unreliable because it still says  rain  in red. It must be because the humid hit >88% at that point.
