MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2020 Dec 12

Observer(s): Weil
Institution(s): Purdue

Instrument: Echelle

Worked for 7 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Very bad weather from 8 until 2.
   Beg: Seeing 2+ arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable, High Humidity
   End: Seeing 1.5+ arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

No telescope problems, minor software issue where JSkyCalc froze, 
simply restarting the application fixed the problem. 

Bad weather significantly impacted observations. 
At the beginning of the night high wind gusts 
caused wind shake, changing targets and the direction the 
telescope was pointing fixed this. From 8-9pm there were
thick clouds preventing observations and from 10pm-2am the
humidity was above the limit.
