MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2002 Nov 11

Observer(s): Jim Pizagno
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: Echelle

Worked for 12+ hours (all night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Winds from 10pm until 6am.
   Beg: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing >2 arcsec, Clear, Winds High

Observing Summary:

No problems to report regarding the telescope operation.  The 
weather was great for the first few hours, but gust of winds 
up to 20 Mph from the North did not allow optimal observing for 
the rest of the night.  Seeing was typically greater than 
2-arcsec, and guiding was hard to impossible depending on how 
close the telescope was pointed to the North (due to winds).
