MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2011 Jun 07

Observer(s): Uthas, de Miguel, Nilsson
Institution(s): Columbia, CBA

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: Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Beautiful weather. Oscillations seems to only occur when first moving
 to new coordinates. After a couple of minutes, the oscillations disappear to only
re-appear once in a while. This behavior is seen regardless of position on the sky.

Occasionally, north and south offset on the hand paddle (on TSC) doesn't respond
 when trying to make an offset. West and east has never failed.

With the guiding not working properly, we have to constantly (every 3-5 min) 
recenter our targets into our aperture.
