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

Observer(s): Vestergaard
Institution(s): Arizona

Instrument: ccds

Worked for 8.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

A few light cirrus in far horizon at sunset, so start might
not have been 100% photometric - but as clouds were dissipating 
toward sunset I presume it became photometric soon afterwards
Light variable winds.  Nice night, although I was mostly
chasing our objects at high airmass so seeing was about 2 arcsec
for most of night. At end (at zenith) it seems a typical seeing was
about 1.5 .

PS: The LN2 was replaced this pm. At 5pm I found a large hole in
fill-tube near the metal spout. As I couldn't tell if any of the
LN2 was going into dewar I took the liberty of shortening the 
fill-tube to avoid this hole.
