MDM Trouble Report for 2025 Dec 20

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Jules Halpern (Columbia U.)
Instrument: Templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
I had the same problem in September.
At the beginning of the night the TCS socket is not connected.
Stopping and starting the TCS doesn't help.
Fortunately Eric responded quickly and gave David Schiminovich
instructions for how to reset the port server in the
computer room, as I am remote.  I also had to adjust the pointing
using the tilt meters, since it was off by a few arc minutes,
larger than the templeton field of view.  This was all done
while still in twilight.  Thanks to Eric and David.
