MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2005 Dec 21

Observer(s): Jules Halpern, Sudhi Tyagi
Institution(s): Columbia U.

Instrument: Templeton Direct

Worked for 2 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable, Not used
   End: Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable, Not used

Observing Summary:

Arrived on the mountain the night before our 2.4m run, and found
the 1.3m vacant, so we used it to observe a possible GRB that
had been detected 5 hours earlier, until the object set.
Now off to get some sleep.

We neglected to turn the AC off in the dome.  It is off now,
but should it be on during the day if it is warm?
