MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2005 Jan 17

Observer(s): Patterson, Armstrong
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: Templeton

Worked for 11.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

   Beg: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Two nights of six-hour durations
Have unearthed eerie pulsations.
Andromeda's sending 'em
And we recommend 'em
For long-baseline observations.

PQ is our latest ambition,
15 years since its last big ignition.
Now three signals burn
And we try to discern
The cause of its new disposition.


Observing was very good.  We did snap off the cold rubber hose 
after filling the dewar. So it needs replacement, and the dewar 
needs refilling too.
