Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: 4k

Worked for 8 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2.11 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.42 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.31 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

The night began very clear and focus was easy to obtain.  Seeing
was ok to start with.  Throughout the night the guider had
trouble in the North/South direction.  During exposures of Cygnus, 
the guiding was the most troublesome.  There were very few stable
Cygnus exposures.  Towards the end of the night I had to pick and 
choose when to begin exposures depending on sporadic clouds.  
Overall it was a good night
