MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2025 Jan 23

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

Instrument: Templeton direct

Worked for 8 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 2+ arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Clear.  The night started out with OK seeing, but winds picked 
up later and the seeing became mediocre.  The winds died down 
toward morning, but I closed around 4:00 AM MST, having 
obligations at home in the morning and having adequate data on
my higher-priority targets.  

Thanks to everyone for making this work!  Also, Jules may want 
to note that the telescope is setting typically 2 arcmin S and 
1 arcmin E of the target, with some dependence on sky position.
I didn't try to reset anything.
