MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2001 Nov 13

Observer(s): Jason Pinkney & Monique Aller
Institution(s): University of Michigan

Instrument: CCD Direct (Echelle)

Worked for 12.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.6 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

It was a very productive night. We imaged 9 nearby galaxies in 
B and R!  We also took Landolts at the beginning middle and end 
of the night just in case.  We could only ask for a little better
seeing, although 1.3  isn't bad for the 1.3-m.
The only frustration with the equipment was the  set  speed,
which worked intermitantly.  North was worse than South at
the set speed.
