MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Jan 14

Observer(s): Jules Halpern
Institution(s): Columbia U.

Instrument: Templeton Direct

Worked for 13 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Finally, a photmetric night with good seeing.  Did time series
on two CVs and blazar 3C279.  Minor problems, similar to last
night, are described in the trouble report following this.
It would be useful if ccdcom could halt a script in response
to an error from the filter wheel, rather than continue blindly
after display a fleeting error message for less than half a second.
