Observer(s): K. Schlesinger
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: 4K

Worked for 13 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm, haze
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable, haze
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm, some haze

Observing Summary:

There were some wispy cirrus clouds and haze for most of the night. 
Looks like it had pretty much cleared by sunrise. But it was 
definitely visible when the moon was still up. 
Had a small problem with the RA and DEC monitor in the dome. It 
failed when I was returning to zenith after taking dayflats. Bob  
was able to help me find and install a replacement monitor over 
the phone.
