MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Mar 12

Observer(s): shappee
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.1 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Patchy clouds at the beginning of the night.  Clouds got heavier in the middle.  Then light cirrus/haze at the end of the night. 

In the middle of the night the guider stopped working. It would simply drift off in the X direction.  It took me ~20 min to figure out that I must have accidentally clicked the Pier Flip button on the camera control.  After I un-clicked it everything worked fine again.  I write this in the log in case it effects anyone in the future so that they might stumble upon this.
