MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2003 Jan 30

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

Instrument: Modspec + Echelle

Worked for 13 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1. arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Perfectly clear all night, apparently, but with some wind and
temperature fluctuations which created rather poor seeing.  No
troubles.  DTI once went a little crazy on switching from direct
to digital (I think Sebastian described this earlier), but this
only happened 1x for a couple seconds.  Dome didn't return
perfectly at end, unlike previous few nights.  
Spectroscopy of cataclysmic variables.
