MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2009 May 28

Observer(s): Greg Feiden
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: OSU 4k

Worked for 8 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 16:00 until 20:30.
   Beg: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Somehow the clouds were able to find us again for the first hour
of the night, but conditions cleared up quickly and the observing
was decent. One issue came about with the guider... there was no
feed, or at least nothing was coming up on the screen! The coordinates
that were input yielded stars on previous nights, so something was
amiss. Did not have any adverse affects on observing since exposure
times were short.
