MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2012 Sep 05

Observer(s): Colon
Institution(s): UH

Instrument: 4K

No Observing (see comments below)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Humidity all night.

Observing Summary:

Despite some clear skies here and there, the humidity was consistently at or above 80%, so I did not open.

I called it a night around 2am, at which point I had started to not feel well.

No problems were encountered except when I went to fill the dewar at the end of the night... I was setting up the tank and noticed movement out of the corner of my eye.
It turns out there was a bat in the dome!  It kept flying around really low, so I went (i.e. ran) into the control room and left the door to the control room propped open.  
The bat then flew into the control room, so I held open the main door and it ended up flying outside!  Problem solved.
