MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Sep 07

Observer(s): Jen Pisciorne and Jonah Kanner
Institution(s): Columbia and UMD

Instrument: 8 K

Worked for 6 hours (last half of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 18:00 until 22:30.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Calm

   End: Seeing 2.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

    After waiting for some clouds to pass, we opened around 23:00 
local time.  We had a smooth evening with seeing around 2.5.  Many 
thanks to Bob and Paul, who patiently listened to our bumps and 
thuds of last night.  It became clear that what we had thought were
unusual sounds were really just the normal click-clacking 
of the relays - sounds that only seemed strange to students born
after the microchip!
