MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2008 May 01

Observer(s): Atlee
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: 4k Camera

Worked for 9 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate, haze on horizon
   Mid: Seeing 1.6 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate, haze on horizon

Observing Summary:

I completed a single long integration for Joe Patterson and a
transit observation for Jason Eastman.  I also took a single
binary field and a single calibration field for Katie 
Schlessinger.  The fields for Katie were taken within 1 hour
of sunrise, and are therefore of somewhat dubious value.

The only particularly noteworthy event of the night was when a
single chip of the 4 in the detector saturated during twilight
flats.  The current theory, proposed by Jason, is that all four
chips saturated, but three of them  rolled over.
