MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Jul 05

Observer(s): Marshall
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 6 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

The balance problem seems to have come back after a few days 
of the telescope behaving itself.  About halfway through the night
I couldn't point to any more targets--after a few minutes the 
telescope would just start moving n the middle of an exposure.

Also, the power flashed several times during the night but did
not interfere with observing.
