MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2015 Mar 24

Observer(s): John Thorstensen
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: modspec + echelle REMOTE!

Worked for 11 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+ arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Generally clear night with cirrus showing up in the last couple
of hours.  Finder mirror problem described in trouble report. 

The apparent malfunction of the MIS guide probe dx and dy 
commands reported a few nights ago turned out to be due to the
fact that requests for moves >= 1000 units are ignored, with
no error message.  There is no good reason for this.  When 
I tried 999 units, it worked!
