MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2008 Jul 03 Observer(s): eve armstrong Institution(s): columbia Instrument: templeton No Observing (see comments below) Conditions were Overcast most of the night. No equipment or software problems were encountered. Seeing and Weather: Clouds all night. Observing Summary: Started the night with some spectacular lightning storms to the South. They went away but threatening clouds kept coming at us all night. On the flip side, I got to start brushing up on relativity! Been on my to-do list for about a year. It's now 2:34am and I'm going to give up, turn off all the lights, and watch a scary movie. Forecast's been a-bluffin'. Clouds are huff 'n puffin'. So I wait And ruminate, And ain't observing nuthin'. Busy though it's dreary. Read some GR theory, Ate cheerios, And now? Who knows - Already growing weary. K, tell ya what I'll do: I'll give that sky 'til two*. If it ain't clear, I'm outa here, Finished, kaput, adieu. *(nothing rhymes with 'two thirty six.'.) ------------------------------ Submitted on 2008 Jul 4 [2:37:30]
