MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Jan 29

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

Instrument: Mark III + Templeton

Worked for 3 hours (off and on through the night)
Conditions were Overcast most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Overcast, Winds Moderate
   End: Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

All I can say is that we gave it a valiant effort.  We got a couple
exposures at the start of the night, but the bad weather moved in
within the first hour or so.  The clouds started out patchy, so we
took data off and on and got what we could.  Soon enough, though,
the sky became completely overcast and we were completely shut down
from 22:00 to 4:00.  By 4:00, though, the big clouds had moved
through and we were back to patchy conditions.  We tried again for
about an hour and a half, to not much avail.  We eventually called
it quits around 6:00.
