MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2006 Mar 08

Observer(s): Denney/Bentz/Jiang
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 10 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 5:00a until dawn.
   Beg: Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Observing was fine.  Finally no detector problems.
McGraw did crash during our beginning of the night calibrations,
but after we rebooted everything, we had no other troubles.
A nice change, if I may say so.

Everything else was normal.  We got spectra at all three of our grating settings for NGC3516, Mrk279, and IC4329A.
We also started to observe SN2006X, but may not be useful because it got cloudy around 5:00AM LT.
