MDM Trouble Report for 2024 Nov 03

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Laura Hunter, Emmanuel (Dartmouth)
Instrument: OSMOS

Problem(s) Encountered:
When I used the close mirror command, the west mirror cover did not close. 
I attempted to re-close the mirror covers by opening all the mirror covers and re-issuing the command to close. 
The west cover remained open after 2 attempts to close the mirror covers. 
On the suggestion from Quinn Casey and John Thorstensen, 
I pointed the telescope towards the east (HA ~2:30) and attempted to close the covers again. 
The mirror covers appear to have closed correctly and I returned the telescope to Zenith and closed the dome shutter.
