MDM Trouble Report for 2022 May 04

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Weil (Purdue)
Instrument: Templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
Upon opening the telescope for the night the TCS showed 
 Telescope Tilt Sensor Interlock Engaged.  Eric drove up the mountain to diagnose 
and fix the problem which was a blown fuse in the TCS electronics related to the 
interlock circuit. However once this problem was fixed the
telescope would not slew. Eric was still on the mountain and attempting to fix the issue
by first manually slewing the telescope, but found the telescope would not move in 
declination. Eric was not able to fix the problem during the night as a dec drive flip 
and rebooting the TCS did not fix the problem. Due to dust in the air and the late hour
the entire night was declared a loss. 

Thank you Eric for coming up the mountain to fix these problems and give us some 
chance to observe.
