MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Nov 06

Observer(s): Alper
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Andor

Worked for 3 hours (first half of the night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Not sure if conditions were actually photometric, as this was
the first true remote observing test (performed from Dartmouth)!
All went well in the end - the guider software crashed twice at
the beginning of the run, but ran fine after that. Due to time
limitations, this run was from ~7:00 pm MST to ~10:00 pm MST, but
was a great proof-of-concept.

No nodding issues to note, though things got a little hinky as I
took an object to ~2.5 airmass (to be expected). Might have been
some clouds at some point. All in all, a good first trial.
