MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2001 Dec 21

Observer(s): Cindy Taylor & Cam Brueckner
Institution(s): Dartmouth (Lawrenceville School)

Instrument: Mk III

Worked for 2.5 hours (first half of the night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Humidity from 8:30  until .
   Beg: Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Humidity climbed up and remained high all night.  While dropping by 
4 am, still too high to observe (and 2.4m observers had retired for
the night so didn't have access to humidity readings). Figures that
the sky was clear.

Only noticed the set sticking mentioned in the earlier trouble
report only once. Then again, wasn't able to put the telescope
through the paces.
