MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2021 Feb 04

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

Instrument: Templeton

Worked for 10 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 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Overall okay night of observing, with clear skies, low wind
poor seeing at the beginning of the night with improvement
at the end of the night.

We encountered problems with the telescope pointing and guiding
during the night, we lost about 2 hours to these problems. The
telescope would not slew to Dec > 74 and would not point accurately
at a Dec > 70. Guider issues where encountered causes blurring 
of images but seemed to be resolved by changing where we pointed,
indicating possible wind shake despite low wind speeds.
