MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2008 Apr 09

Observer(s): Markus Boettcher & Manasvita Joshi
Institution(s): Ohio University

Instrument: Templeton

Worked for 11 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Winds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 3.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 2.1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds High
   End: Seeing 3.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds High

Observing Summary:

In the beginning of the night, the ccd was acting up a bit. It was
complaining of a readout error due to which the observations got 
slowed down a bit. Towards the end of the night, the seeing was 
really bad and also the wind-shake and hence the focus of the 
telescope wasn't as great, but we were still able to observe.
