MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 May 29

Observer(s): Stevens
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 8 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 1.98 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.39 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Able to take data on all targets. Could not get PG1244 into slit
on first pass due to large-amplitude N-S oscillations (nodding);
returned after n5548 and got one exposure with smaller NS oscillations;
additional exposures were not taken because airmass was increasing
rapidly.

Had some difficulty focusing on later targets (3c382) due to E-W and
N-S oscillations.
