MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2009 Apr 22

Observer(s): REJ & GAW
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: 4k

Worked for 7 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Winds from 12 until 3.
   Beg: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.7 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Essentially a repeat of last night.  Good conditions early, low wind around 5-10 mph out of southwest.  
We were observing to the southeast.  On Bob's suggestion, we kept the drop out up to decrease the impact of the wind 
and that appeared to buy us about another hour before the oscillations once again became to bad to continue.
