MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2005 Jul 02

Observer(s): Sheets and Kapusta
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Mark III + Templeton

Worked for 9 hours (all night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 10:30 until 5:00.
   Beg: Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

The clouds rolled in around 10:30pm and bothered us the rest of
the night.  We observed V1006 Cyg and some standards, when the 
clouds permitted.

Minor problem with the telescope.  The south button doesn't work
very well from the control room, when both guiding and setting.

Used point13m for help in finding objects, with mixed results.
