MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2006 Feb 15

Observer(s): Bentz and Denney
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 7 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 6:00 until 11:00.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

We again lost the first part of the night to clouds, so we were 
able to catch up on the continuing Olympics coverage.  The clouds 
eventually began to part, and we opened up hoping they would stay
away, which they did for most of the rest of the night.  We were
able to get spectra of Mrk79 and 3C390.3 at our required grating
settings.
