Observer(s): Manne-Nicholas
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 7 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Night started out gusty, then got calm, then gusty again.  No significant cloud cover.  The liquid nitrogen canisters were pretty low on pressure, so it took a long time to fill the dewar.  John, the director, came by and tried to show me how to use the pressurized tank to the right of the telescope pier to add pressure to the N2 tanks, but the hose was cracked and so that might need repairing.
