MDM Trouble Report for 2023 Jun 22

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): John Thorstensen (Dartmouth)
Instrument: OSMOS (unrelated to problem)

Problem(s) Encountered:
Again, the dome worked for the first couple of targets and,
this time, refused to move in response to a slew.  It did 
not make the same noise as before - I don't remember what 
noise it made.  I disabled the auto-dome and tried using the 
paddle, but the dome still would not move. 

The slit is centered near 102 degrees azimuth.  For the 
rest of the night I observed objects as they passed through 
the observable part of the sky, so managed to work through the
night, but most of the targets were not the highest 
priority.

The emergency cable plug is awkwardly placed near the unused
secondary, and I didn't feel I could plug it in safely, so I 
left the dome open. There is zero likelihood of rain, but the
sun will be falling on the telescope.  The mirror cover and dark
hatch are closed, and the dewar is full.
