MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2001 Jun 25

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

Instrument: Modspec + echelle

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

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

Observing Summary:

A storm system which dropped some rain today moved out by late
afternoon and by nightfall there were big clear patches; 
conditions were partly cloudy through the night but nearly clear
by morning.  Seeing was good, as judged from light entering
the 1-arcsec slit.  Had to wait for clouds to pass
from time to time.  Got lots of data on several cataclysmic 
variables for orbital periods, long-term ephemerides, and 
IDs.
