MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2018 Nov 19

Observer(s): John Thorstensen
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Andor direct

Worked for 8 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 2 AM until end.
   Beg: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Overcast, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Night started out mostly clear after a cirrusy afternoon, and 
stayed good until somewhat before midnight, when some thin high
clouds came through.  Then around 2 AM, opaque clouds moved in
covering nearly the entire sky (but with no possibility of rain). 
Satellite IR showed only slight hope for clearings too brief
to do anything (i.e., sucker holes), so called it a night for the
1.3m around 4 AM.  Closed dark hatch and manually closed the dome.
