MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Sep 04

Observer(s): Piscionere, Kanner
Institution(s): Columbia, Maryland

Instrument: 8k

Worked for 5 hours (first half of the night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 3.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 2.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

We were able to get good calibration data in the beginning of the night 
when it was still cloudy.  By about 10 it cleared up and we started looking at 
targets.  We didn't have any problems with the 8k working, but the seeing was bad.
At around 1:30 we both decided to pack it in because of sleep deprivation issues, 
so we didn't fill the dewar.
