MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2003 Sep 28

Observer(s): Bentz
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: Templeton

Worked for 11 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

There is a very slight light leak in the detector, only 
noticeable when I was taking biases before beginning to observe.
I taped up the place where the dewar meets the telescope, but 
it's still slightly there.  

There was a power blip ~4:30am.  The lights and telescope shut 
off for about 2 seconds, but then came back on.  I restarted 
the telescope and was back observing within seconds.
