MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2011 Oct 25

Observer(s): Julie Skinner
Institution(s): Dartmouth College

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 7 hours (first half of the night)
Bad weather most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Humidity from 00:45 until 5:45.
   Beg: Seeing 1.5+ arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Clear, Winds Above Limit, Humidity > 85%
   End: Clear, Winds Above Limit

Observing Summary:

The evening started off encouraging, but I had to close around 12:30
local time because of high humidity.  Winds above the limit were also an issue later
into the night.  Before closing for the weather, I had to restart the IC computer twice because the IE was down.
Some header keywords are still not being written properly into the headers.
However, I lost virtually no time to these instrument/system problems.
