MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observer's Report for 2008 Nov 21

Observer(s): S. Lepine, E. Gaidos
Institution(s): AMNH, U. Hawaii

Instrument: MkIII spectrograph + Nellie

Worked for 13 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Good night (and long night) for spectroscopy. The cirrus 
clouds were not thick enough to be a real nuisance. 
We observed a total of 91 science targets, which establishes
a new nightly record for me. This is largely thanks to 
the new Telescope Control System, which significantly
reduces the overhead.
