MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2001 Aug 27

Observer(s): R. Mark Wagner
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 9 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the summary for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

I have the track rate set at 15.042 and the image is stable
on the slit.  ISIT camera was not connected to the DTI box at 
start of the night.  I took care of this.  Pointing wasn't bad
but I had trouble at the start of the night.  I had to do 2
restarts and go to Vega to get things going but it pointed
pretty well after that.  Fan on guider PC needs replaced.  It
is generating noise on the camera slit image.
