MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2012 Jun 21

Observer(s): Jules Halpern
Institution(s): Columbia U.

Instrument: Templeton

Worked for 9 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

An excellent night, with only a slight haze at the start.
There was only one tense moment when, during a sky flat,
the shutter failed to open all the way.  I thought I was
finished for the night, but the next exposure was fine,
as were the rest of the approximately 1700 exposures that
I took.

As there will be an instrument change, templeton was
not filled.
