MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2002 Nov 17

Observer(s): Zosia Krusberg
Institution(s): Dartmouth College

Instrument: Echelle

Worked for 9 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing .8 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Partly cloudy all night.  A big area free from thick clouds in the 
south-east where my clusters were so I was able to observe
for most of the night.  

Noise/tracking problem back tonight, had real trouble getting 
through 300s exposures without the tracking stopping at some point.  
This went on for most of the night, and while we (ie Bob) know 
what the problem is, it certainly made observing difficult.
