MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Dec 16 Observer(s): Tuttle Institution(s): Columbia Instrument: Direct/Echelle Worked for 6 hours (first half of the night) Conditions were Mixed most of the night. No equipment or software problems were encountered. Seeing and Weather: Beg: Overcast, Winds Light & Variable Mid: Clear, Winds High End: Clear, Winds Above Limit Observing Summary: Absolutely non fantastic. Workable for a while, finally threw in the towel around 2:30 because I couldn't guide to save my life. Kept waiting for it to improve (to quote the forecast: winds decreasing as the night progresses... haha..) Heavy clouds at the start, giving way to high humidity and strong winds. ------------------------------ Submitted on 2004 Dec 17 [5:41:56]
