MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2015 Apr 28

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

Instrument: MkIII/Templeton

Worked for 10 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

No real problems, other than a seemingly large gust of wind that
hit both the 2.4 and the 1.3 at about the same time around 04:45
and knocked both of our targets out of the slits. That or an
earthquake, so probably strong wind.

 Experimenting  tonight, at John's request, with leaving the
e-stop disengaged after closing up the 1.3 dome.
