MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2012 Jun 19

Observer(s): jules halpern
Institution(s): columbia u.

Instrument: templeton

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: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds High
   Mid: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds High
   End: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

another productive night.  the wind was fairly high
so i kept the dropout shutter up and the doors closed.

the trouble with the ccd controller is worrisome,
but at least i am learning to be quicker about
recovering.

i can't get the guider camera to keep its shutter open.
since people guide with exposures anywhere from 1 to 5
seconds, this could be a lot of wear and tear.
