MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Nov 23

Observer(s): Jackie Faherty
Institution(s): AMNH

Instrument: TIFKAM

Worked for 1.5 hours (last half of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 6am until 5am.
   Beg: Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Tifkam had a problem where the bottom left corner of the chip stopped working (similar 
to when Bob was setting the instrument up).  I corrected it by ensuring all the wires 
were plugged in snugly and then it worked fine.

Also I always seem to leek Nitrogen from the Tifkam connector part of the hose.  I am 
not sure if it is because I am not tightening it enough or if the connector is a bit loose.
