MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2025 Sep 03

Observer(s): Thorstensen (for Cohn)
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Templeton direct

No Observing (see comments below)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from start until 2:00.

Observing Summary:

No obvious storm in the evening but there was quite a bit of 
cloud washing over from convective activity elsewhere, and 
it took until 2 AM MST before it was clear enough to open.  When
I did finally open, I could not slew -- apparently the dec drive 
is frozen.  I could track, and move in HA, but not slew to 
targets, so I closed back up.  See trouble report.
