MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 May 25

Observer(s): De Rosa/ Stevens
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 7 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.6 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.7 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate, maybe thin cirrus
   End: Seeing 1.9 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable, maybe thin cirrus

Observing Summary:

Mostly clear all night. Moderate wind until ~7 UT, causing some 
issues with guiding. We observed all sources except for NGC 3227.
During twilight we observed ASAS-SN sn14_az.
 
We detected small amplitude NS nodding while observing the first 
standard star feige34 (RA 10 39 36 DEC +43 06 09 
secz=1.11-1.13). Issues were 
encountered while observing n3227 (RA=10 23 30.57 DEC=+19 51 54
secz=1.25-1.40): it was impossible to guide due to large 
amplitude N-S nodding. We had further issues with guiding: the guiding was lost twice, 
suddenly, while observing two different objects, without 
apparent explanation.
