ENR CTIO Blanco 4-m 2017-04-25

Date: 
Tuesday, April 25, 2017
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
Jeff Carlin
Submitter Email:

Observer Support: 
Hernan Tirado
Night Assistant: 
Alberto Alvarez
Also Present: 
Jeff Carlin (observer)
Problems: 

At ~1:05 AM (4:05 UT), the telescope stopped while slewing to a new field. Alberto went up to the dome to fix it.

Comments: 

Alberto explained that there is a cable (the "HA cable wrap") that gets caught beneath the telescope (on a plate that is coated with Teflon, but is partly worn out). He went upstairs and manually moved the cable, and we were able to restart. This is a known issue (with an active JIRA ticket - Blanco-846).
