MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2017 Feb 26

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

Instrument: Echelle Direct

Worked for 5.5 hours (first half of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Humidity from 7 UT until 12 UT.
   Beg: Seeing 3.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Got a good start remote observing, but had to close at midnight
for high humidity.  When I tried to open again at 3am the main
dome slit wouldn't open.   See trouble report.  The 2.4m observers
thought that it was too icy anyway, so I gave up the night.
