MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2015 May 02

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

Instrument: MkIII/Templeton

Worked for 10 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

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

Observing Summary:

Dec drive error-ed out at the beginning of the night. Took about
two hours to properly troubleshoot, including a call to Eric.
Wound up turning off the TCS, rebooting the dec drive, then
turning the TCS back on, resetting the server and software, and
re-homing everything. After that everything was fine, and it was a
good, albeit extremely bright, night for observing. (Initially
threatening clouds and rain/thunder during the day passed.)
