MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2016 Sep 01

Observer(s): Halpern
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: Templeton 

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

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

The conditions were useable most of the night, with patchy
clouds a lot of the time.  Tracking was excellent initially,
but when choosing a target at +63 declination, the minor N-S 
nodding appeared immediately and persisted for the entire
run of 3 hours. Amplitude of nodding was +/-2 guider pixels,
producing severely elongated images.
