MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2023 Sep 16

Observer(s): Jules Halpern
Institution(s): Columbia U.

Instrument: Templeton

Worked for 7 hours (off and on through the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Opened and closed three times for variable cloudiness. 
Got good data only in the last third of the night,
with sky flats at the end.

As sometimes happens when remote, the interaction of
iraf's imexamine cursor with the ds9 causes the workstation
to hang.  The only cure I can find is to exit from vnc and
start it again.
