MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2008 Apr 02

Observer(s): L. Watson
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 10.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.6 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

The weather was very nice tonight...mostly clear skies, with only
a few passing clouds.  Amazing how much better data you can get
when the weather cooperates with you: I was able to oberve three
AGNs for the project.

I encountered three minor problems: prospero didn't respond to a 
request to change the central wavelength, CCDOPSS timed out (but
did not require a restart), and I think the finder mirror got 
stuck.  See the trouble report for more details.  I lost very
little time to these problems.
