MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2008 Mar 11

Observer(s): Kunder
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Echelle

Worked for 11 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.6 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.7 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Everything went well.  The clouds rolled in at 5:00 am, making it difficult
to get good images for the last hour of observing.  The East slew button was 
sticking at the beginning of the night, and I needed to call upon Astronomer
Wegner to use his skills in button-pushing to unstick it.  As the night
progressed, the East slew button came around and it was slewing just like
a pro at the end of the run.
