MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Jan 27

Observer(s): Ann Kapusta
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Mark III + Templeton

Worked for 13 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

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

Observing Summary:

Conditions throughout the night were ideal, so another really
great night of observing.  Spent the night taking spectra of 
primarily one CV, with a couple other CV targets thrown in 
for good measure.

Ran into a computer problem about 5 hours into the night.  The
whole system (McGraw) unexpectedly, and seemingly without cause, 
froze.  The system was so frozen even the mouse wouldn't move.  
We had to do a hard restart and when it booted back up, 
everything worked fine for remainder of the night.  It was very
strange.
