MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2016 Jan 30

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

Instrument: Andor

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Winds from 18:00 until 23:00.
   Beg: Clear, Winds High
   Mid: Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Extremely windy night at first which made initial observations
almost impossible due to jitter. Winds eventually calmed down
after a few hours (though would flare from time to time
throughout the evening).

Lost the stars during the tail end of a long exposure at the start
of the night - not sure if this was due to heavy wind or the
guider problem cropping up once again. Either way, while annoying,
it only happened once tonight.
