MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2006 Mar 21

Observer(s): chris peters
Institution(s): dartmouth college

Instrument: mark III + templeton

Worked for 4 hours (last half of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 2 UT until 9 UT.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Calm
   Mid: Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Once the clouds went away, we had clear skies for the last 
part of the night.  Another half-night of CV spectra is 
better than nothing!

One problem with the equipment: I had changed the translation 
of the spectrograph this afternoon, and afterwards, i 
thought that i tightened the 4 silver screws tight enough 
that it was stable. I was wrong; it slipped about 50 units 
throughout the night. this should prove to be some interesting 
data reduction.
