MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2016 Jun 04

Observer(s): Kay/Moran
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: direct/Templeton

Worked for 6.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.6 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.7 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

A nice, clear night -- temperature was pretty steady.  The wind was a bit
gusty at times, calm others.  In twilight, there appears to be some cirrus on
the horizon, so it was probably not photometric.  Things worked well except
for what appeared to be the nodding problem that we encountered a few
years ago.  It affected only one field, but we lost a little time investigating
the issue (it eventually disappeared).
