MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Apr 11

Observer(s): Schlesinger/Unterborn
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 1 hours (last half of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 6 pm until 3:45 .
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Overcast, Winds Moderate
   End: Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

The beginning of the night had very thick clouds. It eventually 
cleared up around 3:30-3:45 am. We had some difficulty with the 
pointing, as the listed bright stars were significantly past 
zenith. We tried to point on a standard which didn't work very 
well. Because of the pointing being off, we were not able 
to observe the one possible target at that time, Arp102B. However, 
we did get a fair amount of practice using the telescope, which is 
always good. 
We will summarize in haiku form: 

Night began with cloud
Continued our misery
No targets observed
