Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: MDM8K

Worked for 4 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Humidity all night.
   Beg: Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

- trouble with moving the telescope
at the beginning of the night, while trying to move 
the telescope towards our target, we found ourselves in
the impossibility to move it further on

at last we managed to move it again simply by moving up 
(reaching the maximum we could) and down the plateform

of course, the pointing went lost

- observations interrupted for high humidity
