MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Sep 14

Observer(s): Eastman
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: 4K

Worked for 5 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 7 until 1.
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Overcast, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Sudden pouring rain this afternoon made me leery of opening,
and when I finally did, I had to close again shortly after
because of clouds. Around 1, I reopened and observed the rest 
of the night, although right after sunrise the humidity hit 90%.

As promised, I have the 4K manual/website (mostly) up and running:

Comments welcome (my email is on the site).

And, as a special bonus, Jose's binaries just looked so nice I 
had to make a pretty picture out of them:
