MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2026 Jan 19

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

Instrument: Templeton

Worked for 12.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

A bit of clouds at times, but otherwise a good night.
I did have trouble getting the dropleaf to close at the end,
but it turns out that the main slit might not have been
quite at the top. It took a few more seconds for me to open
it completely, which then allowed the dropleaf to close.
