MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Feb 13

Observer(s): Matthew Walker
Institution(s): Michigan

Instrument: 8k

Worked for 10 hours (off and on through the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 7UT until 9UT.
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Imaged fields in M31 without problem.  When imaging in Leo, wind 
knocked the telescope around a lot, made even a 5-minute exposure
impossible.  Wind finally died down.  Then clouds rolled in and stayed
for ~2hours.  When clouds cleared, conditions were stable the rest
of the night.

Pretty bad seeing all night.  I was spoiled by my first night.
