MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2011 Oct 08 Observer(s): Matt Wilde, Kay Hirananka Institution(s): AMNH Instrument: MkIII Worked for 12 hours (all night) Conditions were Photometric most of the night. Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details. Seeing and Weather: Beg: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm Mid: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm Observing Summary: Had some difficulty obtaining spectra with enough counts. Also had difficulty in that the telescope would not center on the correct coordinates after moving to a new target. Had to find more than a few bright stars to use zero last on and it still didnt seem to work too well. Weather was perfect. ------------------------------ Submitted on 2011 Oct 9 [5:57:13]
