Non-nominal systems: Musk Telescope
Notes on non-nominal systems: Musk telescope had two issues. The first issue is that the set screws holding the eye piece in place seem to be locked in place, possibly cross threaded. One of the set screws was broken while attempting to loosen it. The second screw remains in place. The second issue with the telescope is that the bottom half of the dome is not closing. The relay inside the switch box seems to be engaging, but the motor that pulls back the bottom shutter is not responding. Both issues were reported to Peter for advice on how to proceed.
