MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Dec 13 Observer(s): Tuttle Institution(s): Columbia Instrument: MKIIIb Worked for 6 hours (first half of the night) Conditions were Photometric most of the night. No equipment or software problems were encountered. Seeing and Weather: Beg: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm Mid: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm End: Clear, Winds Calm Observing Summary: A beautiful night - too bad its my first. Did standards, one target. Hand guided, inevitably lack of observer finesse was the problem - I'll check with Bob in the morning. 2nd half of night - food poisoning? Better now. I didn't keep the telescope open since I couldn't guide (and was otherwise occupied). ------------------------------ Submitted on 2004 Dec 14 [5:57:56]
