MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2008 Jan 19

Observer(s): Denney & Grier
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

We had another great night - weather was beautiful, and problems
were minimal.

We observed 3 AGNs in all three grating settings across the optical:
PG0052, PG0804, and PG1226 (plus two standard stars).

The guiding seemed to be quite squirrely tonight, even though it
wasn't really windy or anything - don't know what the deal with 
that was - I didn't put it in the trouble report because I 
actually just now remembered it.

Other than that, we had to restart reboot the slit acquisition
CCD and computer because CCDOPS locked up on us again.  Also, 
Prospero lost communication with the IE, but that was easily
fixed by typing a  seqinit  in the IC.  No problems that weren't
easily remedied.

Added bonus, we were so efficient tonight that we finished a 
little early and will get an extra hour of sleep - yay!
