MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2009 Apr 27

Observer(s): S. Lepine
Institution(s): AMNH

Instrument: MkIII + Nellie

Worked for 4.5 hours (last half of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 7pm until 12am.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Calm
   Mid: Cirrus, Winds Calm
   End: Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

No observations at the start of the night due to clouds.
Sky cleared up after midnight, but with patchy and cirrus
clouds afterwards. Observed through holes at first; count 
rates were also suspiciously low. In any case I obtained good
spectra for 28 nearby early-M dwarfs, not bad for only half
a night of work.
