MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Mar 05

Observer(s): Manasvita Joshi & Sergey Postnikov
Institution(s): Ohio University

Instrument: Templeton

Worked for 10 hours (all night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 2:00  until 6:00 .
   Beg: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

The night started out with clear skies but towards the last half 
of the night there were some patchy clouds although did not 
really lose much on the observation time. The real problem was
with the electronics of the telescope. For some reason the camera
was not responding and hence was giving error messages quite
frequently in the later half of the night due to which we ended up
losing around an hour of observing time.
