MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Jun 08

Observer(s): Gezari
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: MkIII

Worked for 8.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 1.6 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

A smooth night of observing, after successfully focusing and
pointing the telescope (which were way off at the start of 
the night).  Seeing was poor due to windy conditions.  
The best focus of the slit camera seemed to differ 
from the best focus of the telescope...hopefully this can be
improved by refocusing the slit camera tomorrow during the day.
