MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2022 Jan 14

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

Instrument: MODSPEC

Worked for 11 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 17:15 until 19:45.
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Overcast, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 3.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 3 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Began the night closed due to clouds, but once they began to 
clear around 7:45pm conditions got progressively better. One 
might have called it clear during parts of the night. Seeing 
took a hit around 2am. At the beginning of the night JSkyCalc
was non-responsive for a few minutes and I couldn't kill the 
session, but then it fixed itself. I also learned you can have
the camera control taking continuous images in both the expose
and guide tabs at the same time, which made for non-optimal 
guiding for the ten minutes it took me to figure that one out.
