MKIV COMMENT: Sun Mar 23 23:27:29 GMT 2003 Centered occulting. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Mon Mar 24 00:04:22 GMT 2003 Apparently had another stall at end of a scan. I'm trying something different, I cycled the power to the KCC, I'll see if that helps anything. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Mon Mar 24 00:06:06 GMT 2003 After the main power cycle to KCC the barrel is now being moved CW. I didn't physically push the barrel as I have after other similar stalls. Resetting the power fixed the "end of CCW scan" barrel stall. COMMENT: Mon Mar 24 00:18:21 GMT 2003 Declination pointing started to get bad, but I reset the guider and it corrected itself without me pointing the telescope by hand. Mon Mar 24 00:19:38 GMT 2003 MKIV Start Patrol COMMENT: Mon Mar 24 00:19:27 GMT 2003 Note that I have been regularly resetting the guider throughout the day, as usual, in an attempt to prevent loos of guiding, yet guiding still went off a bit.

The barrel moved jerkily, sometimes in one direction and sometimes changing direction for a degree or so then going back to the original direction. Net movement was in the correct direction. At about the 0 degrees position it stopped like it does at the end of a normal scan, after a few seconds it continued at the normal speed in the correct (same) CW direction in which it was previously moving slowly. Back downstairs the realtime scans apparently started again at that position where the scan speed returned to normal. Now I see the partial scan problem that we've noticed lately, with the barrel stopping at the +/- 45 degree position from the "straight up" (North) position. I set the scan to Idle and it stopped at the correct position, it is interesting that on the last CW scan before it idled the scan was complete like a normal scan. So I started the Patrol again to see if the scans are normal again, they weren't normal, and this time the "Idle" position occurred at the 307 degree position on the CW scan - this I've seen before. The cables aren't binding in the wrapup.
