MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2025 Jun 30

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

Instrument: Templeton direct

Worked for 3 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Partly to mostly cloudy at start, with a brief interval of heavy
cloud and high wind.  This dissipated gradually.  I delayed 
opening due to KPNO being closed by dust/smoke, and due to my 
own fatigue, but when I woke up around 1:30 it was beautifully 
clear and docile; KP was still closed, but the dust didn't seem
excessive to me, and horizontal visibility was very good, so I 
opened and got about three hours on a target. 

The VNC connection dropped sometime in the middle of the night,
but I restarted it without any issues.
