MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2001 Nov 18

Observer(s): J. Pinkney and M. Aller
Institution(s): University of Michigan

Instrument: Modspec with Templeton

Worked for 7.5 hours (off and on through the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

We obtained spectra for 5 galaxies over the course of the night,
but periodically throughout the night we were forced to pause
our exposures as the galaxies and guide stars were obscured
by the clouds. 
We also had a problem where the PC Guider program
 refused to guide on a star which was off the slit. It was as
if the E/W toggle was not working since the program would guide
on the slit.
