MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2005 Nov 12

Observer(s): Denney, Watson, In hee, Assef, Siverd, Dorsher
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: Echelle

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Cirrus, Winds Calm
   Mid: Cirrus, Winds Calm
   End: Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

We observed many things in order to teach the first and second year grad students how to observe.
Things went well in general, but toward the end of the night, we had some problems with the dec, as recorded on TCS.
There didn't seem to be any problems with the observations due to this, but I will describe more in the trouble report.
Also, there was a problem with the CCD, which required a hard reset on one occasion.  This same problem happened several times, but on all occasions but the one, the problem was solved by clearing the CCD and using the df echelle and dl commands.
