MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2009 Sep 07

Observer(s): Parks
Institution(s): Osu

Instrument: 4k

Worked for 6 hours (last half of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Tonight started off slow again due to cloud cover and threatening 
clouds.  But before midnight things started clearing up and
eventually seeing was at about 1 arcsecond and consistently was
under 1.5''.  For some reasons the contour plots the entire night
were stretched vertically even though the focus and seeing were 
both good.  The actual images were generally not stretched in 
the east west direction, so I don't believe it was due to 
guiding problems or shake.  There was little to no wind tonight.
