MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Feb 27

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

Instrument: echelle + 2 in FW direct

No Observing (see comments below)
Bad weather most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.

Observing Summary:

Cold front came through during the day and it never cleared
up.  Saw a few stars briefly around midnight, but humidity
never got low enough and eventually fog formed as the air 
cooled to the dewpoint.  

Ambient dome temperature on A/C computer sometimes goes haywire,
leading to incorrect calculated dewpoints (and shutting down
any mirror cooling).  Not quite worth a trouble report.
