MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Sep 09

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

Instrument: 8k

Worked for 8 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm, Pretty
   Mid: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm, Charming
   End: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm, Breathtaking

Observing Summary:

A beautiful night in every sense.  
In a science sense, the telescope and 8k ran without any 
problem.  We gathered all the images we could hope
for, and the seeing was as good as 2.  Who knows, maybe
there's even a gravity wave buried in all that data.  

     We failed to burn our data onto disk.  There may be an
issue with the burner on Hilt.
