MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2008 Mar 09 Observer(s): Kunder Institution(s): Dartmouth College Instrument: Echelle 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: Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable Mid: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable End: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable Observing Summary: Nice evening for observing! Unfortuantely, I was largely hampered by the 25 times that CCDCOM crashed. Of particular note was that after crash #18, it took about 20 min before CCDCOM established a connection. I'm discouraged that ccdcom is crashing more and more frequently. ------------------------------ Submitted on 2008 Mar 10 [6:28:49]
