MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2021 Sep 26

Observer(s): Elisabeth Newton
Institution(s): Dartmouth College

Instrument: modspec

Worked for 1 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Humidity all night.
   Beg: Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

I received a socket is not connected error when I started up. 
The warning  tel at west limit  suggests I tracked into a limit 
while waiting for the weather to clear the previous night. 
Running telescope status showed that rtel was not running, so
I ran telescope stop & start. Afterwards, the pointing was 
quite off. I followed the  pointing failure  troubleshooting
and used the sensor tilt to align to zenith, then centered
on a bright star. Unfortunately it was too humid to open most
of the night.
