The Vampire Effect

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

Make sure your Mark IVs get home before sunrise.

Last night I ran a test that ran past sunrise.  The Mark IV was supposed to 
go home at  the end of the test.  It just kept going since there was enough 
ambient light that the vane was not detected.  I found it later this 
morning trying to push through the west end of the RA drive.  This version 
stalls the motor.  No damage was done.  Arne will have to be particularly 
careful as that drive is delicate.
