MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2012 Feb 13

Observer(s): De Rosa
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 2.5 hours (off and on through the night)
Bad weather most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Humidity from 04:11 until 09:27.
   Beg: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate, High humidity
   Mid: Cirrus, Winds Moderate, high humidity
   End: Overcast, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

During the afternoon I have had some problems with the 
spectrograph focusing which delayed daytime calibrations 
(no bias taken in order to open the dome at twilight, see 
detailed log for more details). Night began with few cirrus 
in the sky and high humidity. At UT 04:11 I needed to close the 
dome due to high humidity. Opened again at UT 09:27 (rechecked 
the telescope pointing) I had enough time to observe one target 
before closing again: threatening clouds were covering the sky 
(rain in Tucson). Overcast for the rest of the night. I have 
managed to observe two targets and one 
standard.
