MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Sep 27

Observer(s): Crotts
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: 8K

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 Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Slave half electronics of 8K are still losing communications,
and this seems to have little to do with tension on cables.  The
power on slave power supply often refuses to reset to correct
 pof  state.  Power supply need to be recycled off/on many times
in order for proper voltage state to be realized.
