MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2002 Feb 07

Observer(s): Athey
Institution(s): Michigan

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 4 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

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

Observing Summary:

IC computer for CCDS crashed.  Maybe a disk problem?? - I replaced with spare IC computer.  Gain for CCD with different with spare computer controler.
Although data was okay with different gain, I spent a few hours diagnosing why my data looked different, not realizing the change in gain setting 
(thought it might be guider shadowing and other random thoughts).  Various Ohio-State members were very helpful in fixing the IC computer crash.  
Thinking the solution was 5 minutes away (for 2 hours), I did not contact them concerning the gain setting.
