MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2011 Jun 19

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

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 9 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Clear night but increasingly windy, which made
the telescope extremely unstable in Decl. Lots
of jerks and shaking, especially when the winds
were strongest.

Additionally I noticed that the guider is apparently
not guiding in Decl. I tried to adjust the guider
settings on Maxim DL, but no success.

Excellent data haul despite these problems, thanks
to longslit spectro. Observed 63 targets total.
