MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2023 Sep 20

Observer(s): John Thorstensen
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Templeton Direct

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

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

A very good night -- a little cloud around at start, but it 
swept off to the northeast early on and it was clear from then 
on.  Nicole at the 2.4m contacted me around midnight to say they
were having some trouble with wind, but I never saw any high
readings and I was working mostly in the northwest, while the 
wind was apparently from the east.  Seeing wasn't especially 
good but was more than adequate for the time-series photometry
I was doing.  It was nice to work from home!
