MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Jan 23

Observer(s): Denney & Dietrich
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 12.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   End: Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

We had a great night, for the most part.  We observed PG0052+251, 
PG0844+329 with all three grating settings, finished the two 
settings we had left of PG1226+023, and got the red setting of
PG1426+015.  The only minor problem that we had was that the 
reflection that Misty and I have previously discovered has
apparently moved to sligtly lower wavelengths than it use to be, 
and so our grating center originally at 4250, which Misty and I 
moved to 4200 to miss the reflection, had to again be moved to
4150, since the reflection could still be seen at 4200 during 
this run.  Even with dealing with this annoyance in the middle
of the night, we were quite happy with this night, compared with
most of the rest of our run, so far, just due to the weather.
