MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2003 Oct 21

Observer(s): pizagno
Institution(s): Ohio State

Instrument: CCDS 600(2)

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

At certain alititude and azimuth the telescope will not stop slewing to a 
certain ra&dec.  After aquiring the field, the telescope would continue 
slewing past the target.  I lost 1 target at the end of the night due to the 
telescope motion.
Also, the tilt meters may not read zero when the telescope is placed 
at the sidereal time (from TCS)& 51 57 12.   This made things a little tricky
when trying to point the telescope.
